    Glossary Psychological Stress

    body's response to perceived threats or challenges

    Psychological stress, also known as mental or emotional stress, refers to the body's response to perceived threats or challenges, which can be real or imagined. This type of stress triggers a cascade of physiological reactions, including the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which can affect various bodily functions and potentially lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments like alopecia (hair loss).
