Understanding Stress Mechanisms
Stress can be categorized into acute and chronic types, influencing our brain and body differently. Acute stress, such as being cut off in traffic, results in a temporary spike in hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, allowing individuals to respond quickly and recover afterward. However, chronic stress can have damaging effects, leading to prolonged negative health outcomes. Understanding these mechanisms allows individuals to better recognize stress responses and manage them more effectively.
