Publisher's Synopsis
We all experience stress from time to time. At the most basic level, stress is the body's reaction to outside stimuli. The body responds to these changes by reacting physically, mentally, and emotionally. When stress is chronic, or when a person experiences a traumatic event, stress disorders can develop. The information in this book can help readers learn about stress disorders and recognize when stress in life is causing negative consequences. When stress and anxiety are becoming unmanageable, there are things that can be done to reduce the likelihood of developing one of the stress disorders outlined in the book. Every book in the Behavioral Disorders series is packed with valuable information regarding many types of mental health disorders, including personality disorders, eating disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This comprehensive series offers insight into the causes, treatments and outlook for each of these disorders.
