Types of stress
Searches on the Internet yield many classifications of stress based on its effect on the body. However, the American Psychological Association distinguishes three forms:
Acute stress
Caused by the demands and pressures of past events or anxiety about the future.
It is manifested by short-term reactions and unpleasant sensations, so it does not significantly harm a person. During the time it occurs, the most common symptoms are:
- Irritability, anxiety and depression make up the three feelings of stress.
- Headache, back and jaw pain, as well as muscle tension. Stomach and intestinal problems are reflected in heartburn, flatulence, diarrhea and constipation.
- Blood pressure and tachycardia, sweaty palms, palpitations, dizziness and chest pain. Although this feeling is uncomfortable, it is temporary and manageable. It is usually enough to relax or hope to overcome the events that provoked it.

Chronic stress
Destroys the body, mind and life of those who suffer from it.
It comes from long-term situations that are difficult to control: trauma, poverty, dysfunctional families and unhappy relationships.
Persistent depression is the dominant form of pretending, to the point where people despair and give up on finding solutions. This is how people get used to it, think it is normal and skip asking for help.
Professional support is needed, especially because it can lead to suicide, violent situations, heart attacks and even cancer.
