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.
Selye proposed that there are four variations of stress. On one axis, there is good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress). On the other is overstress (hyperstress) and understress (hypostress). The goal is to balance these as much as possible. The ultimate goal would be to balance hyperstress and hypostress perfectly and have as much eustress as possible.
