4.Psychological and physiological
Psychologists refer to stress as a feeling of strain and pressure. It is also considered as one type of psychological pain. Small amounts of stress may be desired, beneficial, and even healthy. It is observed that Stress is primarily a physical response. When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to ‘fight or flight’ mode. Consequently, a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine are released into the body. These hormones and chemicals help to prepare the body for physical action. Blood is diverted to muscles, as a result, shuts down other bodily functions such as brain function, digestion etc.
