Stress and emotional and behavior expression

Stress

     Stress can occur anywhere, anytime. It may be caused by external causes, such as moving house, job change, illness, divorce, unemployment, relationships with friends, family, or by the internal causes, such as the need for good study or the sickness.

Stress is the body's alarm system to prepare itself for action. Having too little or too much stress is not good for your health. Most people understand that stress is bad because it causes headaches, muscle pain, fast heartbeat, flatulence, cold hands and feet. However, stress also has a good part, such as excitement, challenge, and fun. In short, stress is a life-changing factor that has both pros and cons.

Type of stress

• Acute Stress is stress that occurs suddenly, and the body responds to that stress immediately by releasing stress hormones. When the stress disappears, the body and the hormones return to normal, e.g., noise, cold or hot weather, a crowded community, fear, fright, hunger, etc.
• Chronic Stress is stress that occurs every day and the body is unable to respond to the stress. It will accumulate into chronic stress, e.g., stress at work, interpersonal stress, housewife stress, and loneliness.
