?Describe the key differences between acute and chronic stress.
What will be an ideal response?
?Acute stress results from a short-term stressor. It appears suddenly, is usually quite intense, and then disappears quickly. When you manage acute stress well, it can help you think clearly and perform optimally. Acute stress can be exciting and invigorating in small doses-but too much is exhausting.?Chronic stress is long-term stress that can result from unrelenting demands and pressures that seem to go on for an interminable time. The danger of chronic stress is that some people get used to it, lose hope, and give up searching for solutions. As their physical and mental resources are depleted, they are overcome by feelings of apathy, hopelessness, and fear.
