    A nonspecific response of the body to


    any demand made upon it. (Hans Selye,
    1936)

    environment that is perceived as
    challenging, threatening or damaging to
    the persons dynamic equilibrium.

    1992)

    Concepts of Stress

    A stressor is a stimulus that evokes the


    disequilibrium.
    The nature of the stressor is variable.
    A stress may lead to another stress.
    A single stress does not cause a disease.
    A stress whenever prolonged may lead to
    exhaustion.
    Stress is not always something to be avoided.
