The Stress Response
The human body responds to stress in a variety of ways. The effects of the stress response differ depending on whether the stress is short-term or prolonged. Individual differences can impact how a person will respond to stress from both a physiological and psychological level. Consider how you respond to stress and what strategies you use to cope with stressful situations.
For this week’s Discussion, you examine both the body’s normal response to short-term stress, as well as the effects of prolonged stress.
