Stress is the emotional and physical tension brought on a person’s reaction to the demands of life. Stress frequently causes anxiety, irritability, and inability to concentrate. Stress can also lead to headaches, and a rapid heartbeat.[1]
Stress also refers to the emphasis given to some syllables in words. [2]
Author John A. Schindler, M.D. introduced the powerful concept of EII, or "emotionally induced illness," long before most physicians were aware of the connection between emotions and physical health. (1954) [3]
Many illnesses, such as chronic anxiety states, high blood pressure, heart disease, and addictive disorders, to name a few, also seem to be influenced by chronic or overwhelming stress. [4]
