body's reaction to perceived threats, involving hormone release

The stress response is the body's way of reacting to perceived threats or challenges, often referred to as the "fight-or-flight" response. It involves the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which prepare the body to either confront or flee from the stressor. This response can affect various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and even hair growth, potentially leading to conditions like stress-induced alopecia.
