chronic stress
appraisal is...
the process of interpreting a situation and determining if it is stress.

process of maintaining physiologic parameters of the human body to allow survival.
Allostasis is the process of....
maintaining or reestablishing homeostasis when responding to stress
sustained allostatic states lead to...
allostatic load
an allostatic load can lead to...
illness
