For Stress Management


Stress is a term used for the consequence of a person's failure to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, be it real or imagined. Once danger is sensed, the body's defenses 
spring into action in a rapid, automatic process called the "fight-or-flight" reaction, or the stress response.(1)

The stress response is actually the body's way of protecting itself. It triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the adrenal glands, specifically from the medulla.  The adrenal medulla produces two neurotransmitters, epinephrine, and norepinephrine in response to stress.(2) These neurotransmitters are responsible for the physiologic effects observed in the fight or flight reaction such as rapid heart rate, increased strength, heightened alertness, etc. The stress response also helps people rise to meet the cares of daily living. However, beyond a certain point, stress can cause significant damage to health, productivity, relationships, and quality of life.(3)  Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress can impair almost every organ system in the body. Long-term stress causes effects that impact the brain which can escalate into anxiety and depression.

Stress Symptoms

Excessive stress can present itself in a wide variety of physical, emotional, behavioral and cognitive symptoms. Common physical symptoms often reported include sleep disturbances, muscle tension, frequent colds, headache, diarrhea or constipation, nausea, dizziness, loss of sex drive and fatigue.(4) Emotional and behavioral symptoms that can accompany excessive stress include nervousness, anxiety, changes in eating habits, impaired sleep patterns and lethargy which may lead to the abuse of substances such as alcohol or medications.(5) Cognitive symptoms may include memory problems, poor judgment, inability to concentrate and constant worrying.

It is important to note that the presence of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that there is an elevated stress level because all of the symptoms can be caused by other medical and/or psychological disorders. The symptoms of poorly managed stress will differ for each individual.

Stress Management

A doctor can help determine whether or not the symptoms are stress-related. A stress test may also be performed for a more definitive diagnosis. An example is the Trier Social Stress Test(6) which tries to isolate the effects of personalities on the ability to deal with stress in a laboratory setting. Once it has been ascertained that an individual is indeed suffering from excessive stress, several healthy stress management techniques can be performed. The main goal is to have a well-balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation and fun.

Stress remedies include simple things such as regular exercise, meditation, and relaxation techniques. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe medications such as those used in the treatment of anxiety. However, these medications should only be used cautiously as they may be counterproductive. In cases where stress leads to a full-blown psychiatric disorder such as clinical depression or post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD)(7) then psychotropic medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can be used to address the problem.(8) Another option is stress-management counseling which may be in the form of individual or group therapy. These approaches are supervised by mental-health-professionals and they have been proven to reduce symptoms associated with excess stress.
