According to research, exposure to a moderate level of stress that is appropriate actually makes a person stronger and better able to cope with stress. A vaccine containing a small amount of the virus can immunize against the disease.
Richard Dienstbier's (1989) Theory of Mental Strength suggests that experiencing a few manageable stressors with recovery in between can make the person more mentally and physically resilient and less reactive to future stress. One possibility is that such experiences lead people to view stressors as more manageable and to manage them more skillfully.
However, it is possible that the symptoms of stress can sometimes affect health, even if it is difficult to recognize. It's easy to think that an illness is to blame for those pesky headaches, frequent insomnia, or decreased productivity at work or college. But stress can actually be the cause.
Symptoms of stress can affect the body, thoughts and feelings, and behavior. Uncontrolled stress can contribute to many health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
