Stress is recognized in different forms. There is Acute, Episodic acute, and chronic stress.
Acute stress is the most common form of stress. Acute stress happens to almost everyone some of the time. This type of stress is brought upon by recent demands or anticipated pressure. It is often easily managed and highly treatable. Acute stress is often short lived; it often goes away as quickly as it comes on. This type of stress is usually recognized as it is happening such as when rushing to meet a deadline, involvement in a fender bender, or when looking for a lost item. Some symptoms of acute stress may be seen in emotional responses such as anger or irritability, physical symptoms may include tension headache, muscle tightness, rapid heartbeat or stomach upset. Fortunately since the both the causes and effects are short lived acute stress does not cause long term or extensive problems.
There are those that are always taking on too much, often aggressive, usually running late and always in a hurry. They appear to always be in a state of acute stress. This type of stress is called episodic acute stress. The major difference between the two is that those suffering from episodic acute stress are not aware of the problem. These are the ones that would most benefit from stress management; yet seem to always be taking on more and more responsibilities and don't recognize it as stress rather just accept it as who they are as if this type of behavior was ingrained in their person.
