BENEFITS AND
COSTS OF STRESS
Although we generally think of stress as
something to avoid, stress is a natural,
adaptive response that serves a
protective function. At moderate levels,
stress helps alert us to potential threats in
the environment and enables us to focus
our attention on resolving the threat
(Sherrod, 2019).
Although some stress is beneficial,
prolonged, or intense stress can be
associated with a variety of
negative physical and
psychological outcomes.
For example, moderate amounts of stress
help to focus our attention, while
excessive stress leads to diminished
attention, concentration, decision-making,
and short-term memory. High stress can
also lead to a variety of emotional
disturbances, including irritability,
depression, and anxiety disorders.
Stress Management
The goal of stress management is not to
eliminate all stress. Rather, stress
management techniques are designed to keep
stress levels within an optimal range.
Engaging in healthy lifestyle behaviors can
help to reduce stress and maximize the
likelihood of living a long, healthy life.
