Welcome to the Site of Stress! Here you will find general information about what stress is, a detailed explanation of its mechanisms and suggestions how to deal with the "adverse dose" of stress - distress. We have paid greatest attention to three major aspects of stress - its mechanisms in the human body, its impact on emotions and vice versa - emotions as stressors, and last but not least - the problem of adequate behaviour and decision making in stressful situations. Stress has become so much part of our lives that its understanding and following proper attitude are crucial for one's well-being in the modern world. We wish you having a nice time exploring the topic of stress!
