Stress frequently happens because of circumstances that are being hard to deal with or debilitating. Causes of stress includes:
- sickness
- injury
- anxiety
- dread
Every individual is affected by stress differently. A healthy reaction to stress can bring about productivity and even benefits in a person’s life. However, when a person reacts unhealthily to stress, this is where problems start.
The body’s reaction to stress is started and controlled by the brain and the spinal cord. Considering an upsetting circumstance, the brain first flags the inner part of the adrenal organ, called the adrenal medulla, to discharge hormones such as adrenaline/epinephrine and norepinephrine that starts the “flight-or-flight” reaction.
