We all feel stress: a response to demands that exceed our ability to cope. It's not only psychological - biology plays a major role in the stress response. This program details the immediate physiological processes of fight or flight responses, as well as the stages of General Adaptive Syndrome (GAS). The negative effects of prolonged stress on the body are also explored.
