What to Focus On

  • Mental disorders develop gradually.
  • Stress is a non-specific response of the body to demand.
  • Eustress is desirable; distress is undesirable.
  • Stressors may be major events, daily hassles, chronic strains, or traumas.
  • Responses to stress can affect behaviour, emotions, thinking, relationships, body, and imagination.
  • Physical signs of stress may include sleep problems, appetite changes, and high blood pressure.
  • Conflict is stressful when goals are incompatible.
  • Approach-approach conflict involves two desirable choices.
  • Avoidance-avoidance conflict involves two undesirable choices.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Stress is the same as any kind of pressure or worry, and it only affects the mind.

Eustress is bad stress and distress is good stress.

A stressor is the stress itself.
