Selyean stress

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-010719

The physiological and psychological response of an organism to any demand placed upon it, as described by Hans Selye. This concept encompasses both beneficial stress (eustress) and harmful stress (distress), leading to a general adaptation syndrome. The response involves hormonal changes, particularly the release of corticosteroids, to cope with the perceived threat or challenge.
