Stress is commonly described as the impact of a negative force, from within and without on an individual’s mental and physical wellbeing. HealthyLiving Health Stress
An individual’s response to stressors generally affects the individual directly or his environment. Human beings are exposed to these stressors on a daily basis but responses differ due to certain factors.
The external forces or stressors that we are commonly faced within our environment on a daily basis will include jobs and money, relationships especially marital, affecting women more, whether or not the marriage is blessed with children. Another marital stressor is third party involvement, which can cause stress in both husband and wife.
Now, I will like to show you a bit of the neurochemistry that is involved in the causation of stress and to see how we can deal with stress whenever it occurs in our lives. The main stress hormone is known as cortisol. Cortisol is secreted from the adrenal glands, which are positioned on top of both kidneys. Before cortisol is secreted, the corticotrophin-releasing hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus in response to stress.
The signs and symptoms of stress may be behavioral, emotional, cognitive and physical. Behavioral symptoms are excessive eating , too much [or too little] sleep, dependence on alcohol, narcotic drugs, and cigarettes, living in isolation, neglecting responsibility and nervous habits like pacing and nail-biting.
