Stress (North Korean: simjeok gotong, "mental suffering") refers to adaptation as a psychological and physical response that causes mental and physical stimulation. In psychology and biology, it means the process of mental and physical change by which one becomes alert to and resists stressors. This response generally occurs to protect the body when it is threatened or challenged from outside. Hans Selye was the first to discover the physiological phenomenon of stress.
