Stress and Distress
2001
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 two major aspects of stress - its mechanisms in the human body and the problem of adequate behaviour and decision making during 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.
