Abstract
In medical parlance 'stress' is defined as a perturbation of the body's homeostasis. This demand on mind-body occurs when it tries to cope with incessant changes in life. Stress is a concept invented in the 1930s by Dr. Hans Selye. 1 Dr. Selye admitted that stress is an abstract concept, and he admitted that stress has never been adequately defined. Dr. Selye's own definition of stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand.
