Everyone experiences stress.
Whether it is everyday hassles, such as being stuck in traffic, or more acute forms of stress, such as pain or traumatic experiences, stress plays a part in everyone's lives.
A stressor is any stimuli that causes a nonspecific response in an individual, otherwise known as stress There are two main categories of stress: acute and chronic. Acute stressors include uncontrollable situations, physical illness, surgery, and traumatic experiences. Chronic stressors include sleep deprivation, daily "hassles", work overload or under-load, role strains, or social isolation. There are, of course, many more things that can cause stress, but these are the stressors most common.
Psychological stress has been shown to over-tax the adrenals and weaken the immune system increasing the susceptibility to viral infection. Subjects exposed to stress showed increases in infection rates from 74% to 90%, and clinical colds rose from 27% to 47%. This is not surprising, as stress does suppress the immune system; this is supported by studies showing that colds and other infections manifest themselves on weekends after busy and stressful work weeks.
