Summary:

Seal (1998) in 'What is stress' says stress has been defined in many ways. He defines stressors physical and emotional demands on us and applied our emotional and physical reaction to such stimuli. They interfere or threaten our accustomed way of life . When we face such stressors we must deal with it by polling together our self and try to find the solution for it. Both human and animals react to any stressor in three stages known as the general adaptation syndrome according to Seyle. First be aware of the stressor, second comes the resistance. If the second stage works or the person will continue being in stress and this is the third stage of exhaustion or collapse . In humans its harder to predict what will be stressful to a same person at the same time. Its depends on the persons subjective appraisal of the stress. The specific stress reaction is likely to vary widely; some stressful situations give rise predominantly to emotion of fear, some to anger, some to helplessness and depression.
