What health-related issues might you see with someone who holds stress for long periods of time?
· The mind modifies the biochemical functions of the major organ systems in response to feedback. Thoughts and feelings influence the production of chemicals that circulate throughout the body and convey messages via cells to various systems within the body.
· The stress response is a good example of the way in which systems cooperate to protect an individual from harm.
· Physiologically, the cascade of changes associated with the stress response causes increased heart and respiratory rates, tightening muscles, increased metabolic rate, and a general sense of foreboding, fear, nervousness, irritability, and negative mood.
· Other physiological responses included elevated blood pressure, dilated pupils, stronger cardiac contraction, and increased levels of blood glucose, serum cholesterol, circulating free fatty acids, and triglycerides
-- Increase in cortisol comes with an increase in stress
§ Cortisol stimulates your fat and carbohydrate metabolism, creating a surge of energy in your body. While the process is essential for a survival situation, it also increases your appetite. Additionally, elevated cortisol levels can cause cravings for sweet, fatty, and salty foods.
· Although these responses prepare a person for short-term stress, the effects on the body from long-term stress may include structural damage and chronic illness such as angina, tension headaches, cardiac arrhythmias, pain, ulcers, and atrophy of the immune system organs.

Through this process, the client becomes more susceptible to additional stressors. Either adaptation occurs or the client progresses to exhaustion.
Exhaustion stage: The body becomes overwhelmed and resources are depleted.
Thinking becomes illogical and distorted. Problem-solving and communication are ineffective. Unless the stress is removed or adaptation occurs, the client will die from exhaustion
