Acute Stress- This is stress resulting from specific events or situations that involve unpredictability, a threat to the ego, and leave us with a poor sense of control. This is ‘on the spot’ type of stress, such as having to give a speech to your 1st period British Literature class at Poly High School located in room 665, or almost getting hit by a bus.
Chronic Stress- This is stress resulting from repeated exposure to situations that lead to the release of stress hormones. This type of stress can cause wear and tear on your mind and body. Examples include academic pressure from an outside force, financial stress, or work-related stress.
