- Prolonged or chronic stress can negatively affect physical and mental health.
- Individuals react differently to potentially stressful situations.

Approaches in Psychology
- The biological approach emphasizes the role of genetics, neurotransmitters, and brain structure in behavior.
- The cognitive approach emphasizes mental processes such as memory, perception, and problem-solving.
- The behavioral approach emphasizes the role of learning and environmental factors in shaping behavior.
