The stress is classified into three major types.
Here, acute stress is usually caused by specific events or situations like being stuck in traffic, having to go to work in a few minutes, or having a work deadline but not completing your work. This type of stress is called acute stress.
The second one is chronic stress.
Chronic stress is long-term stress, such as financial problems, relationship difficulties or work-related pressures, and chronic stress leads to severe health consequences like head pain, insomnia, heart disease, obesity, etc.…
The final stress was episodic acute stress.
Episodic acute stress is a repeated episode of acute stress.
For example,
You are stuck in traffic, so you are delayed in reaching the work. Then, you are delayed in submitting the job, so the manager scolds you, etc. This type of continuation is called episodic acute stress So, the people who experience this type of stress often feel like they are constantly facing challenging situations, which can lead to a pattern of stress and anxiety.
