Thus, researchers are unclear whether and to what extent elevated CRP levels are associated with psychological distress and depression in the general population. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used marker of inflammatory disease when CRP levels exceed 10 mg/L.
General Adaptation Syndrome. Selye defined stress as: âStress is the nonspecific response of the body to any demand, whether it is caused by, or results in, pleasant or unpleasant conditions.â. Selye identified three stages of adaptation which a person goes through in his General Adaptation Syndrome in 1936.ans Selye is often considered one of the early pioneers of modern stress theory.
In his later years, when asked to define stress, he told reporters, âEveryone knows what stress is, but nobody really knows.â. As noted, stress is difficult to define because it is so different for each of us. A good example is afforded by observing passengers on a steep roller coaster ride.Some are hunched down in the back seats, eyes shut, jaws clenched and white knuckled with an iron grip on the retaining bar.hat Selye proposed was just the opposite, namely that many different insults could cause the same disease, not only in animals, but in humans as well. Selyeâs theories attracted considerable attention and stress soon became a popular buzzword that completely ignored Selyeâs original definition.
