Stress

Paper Summary:

In particular, it looks at how stress effects the college student and the office worker and how it can be treated.

From the Paper:

"The physical impact of stress, however, is different from one individual to the next, and the various types of emotional and physical responses that a person has to stress of any kind are actually set in motion by a set of chemical releases and actions. For example, when the individual has been stuck in a traffic jam for more than an hour, and there is a cacophony of car horns and there is too much noise and pollution and heat everywhere, then the person would automatically react with a certain amount of stress at least. When the danger or the stress-causing incident is over, the human body that is well equipped with the appropriate chemicals that combat stress, will initiate a reverse course of action that in fact will serve to release a different range of chemicals into the body and will bring the body into the balance that it is used and accustomed to."
