The definition change of health and disease has a tremendous impact on psychologists perceptions of how important stress is. Before the change, physicians focused only on the illness of the disease and attempted to control stress. With the new definition of health as an absence of disease, it forced psychologists to focus on the effects of stress on the general well being, behavioral, and performance. It made them look for anxiety, tension, frustration, and unhappiness as a stressor. Those stressors are the typical normal reactions the body displays when it feels stressed.
Stress is a natural part of life.
