Tema 4: Emoción, Estrés y Ansiedad

A tool to assess the severity of depression symptoms.

A self-report questionnaire assessing depressive symptoms.

A screening tool for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

Measures both state (current) and trait (chronic) anxiety.

Anxiety experienced in the present moment, related to a specific situation.

A general, enduring tendency towards anxious feelings.

Stress is triggered by a specific event, while anxiety lingers after the event.

Anxiety can be treated through either psychological (therapy) or psychiatric (medication) interventions.

Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight response).

Part of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body.

A quick response to a threat, primarily involving the sympathetic nervous system.

The combined endocrine and nervous system coordinating to respond to stress.

A feedback loop involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal cortex crucial for long-term stress responses.

The part of the nervous system that controls involuntary bodily functions. It's a network of nerves with its own centers.

A series of hormonal interactions involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal cortex, key for stress response and recovery.

Corticotropin-releasing hormone, a hormone released by the hypothalamus in response to stress.

The part of the ANS that activates the body's fight-or-flight response.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone, a hormone released by the pituitary gland in response to CRH.

A body's reaction to a demanding situation.

System of glands responsible for making and releasing hormones.

Hormones, such as cortisol, released by the adrenal cortex to help the body's recovery from stress, regulating blood glucose levels.

The endocrine system's action after the SNS response, sustaining the body's adjustment to the stressful stimulus.

A glucocorticoid that helps maintain energy levels during stress, and participate in the body's recovery.

The body's physiological response to a perceived threat or challenge.

Part of the autonomic nervous system that triggers the 'fight-or-flight' response, increasing energy expenditure during stress.

Part of the autonomic nervous system that promotes 'rest and digest', conserving energy after stress.

Controls involuntary responses, including those that regulate energy during stress (SNS) and recover from stress (PNS).

The communication network involving both nerves (neuro) and hormones (endocrine), managing stress responses.

The initial evaluation of a situation's potential threat or challenge.

Assessment of resources and coping abilities to handle a situation.

Updating situation assessment with new information.

Stressful event causing damage or loss.

Stressful event anticipating a future harm/loss.

Stressful event seen as a chance for growth or achievement.

Any triggering event that leads to the stress response.

Stress response changes over time based on our perception of the event.

Primary appraisal, secondary appraisal, and re-evaluation.

Behavioral, Social, Emotional, Cognitive, and Physiological.

Actions and behaviours indicating the presence of stress, including avoiding tasks, sleep problems, difficulty finishing work, trembling, restlessness.

Feelings and emotional responses arising from stress, such as feeling tense, irritability, anxiety, restlessness, worry, and difficulty relaxing.

Physical manifestations of stress, such as muscle tension, teeth grinding, sweating, headaches, dizziness, and stomach problems.

Mental processes affected by stress, including anxiety-provoking thoughts, trouble concentrating, memory problems, and prioritization difficulties.

Effects of stress on social interactions and relationships, such as withdrawal, difficulties with personal connections.

The susceptibility of a person to negative outcomes from a stressful situation, usually based on the individual's perceived impact versus available resources.

Aspects that make an individual more susceptible to negative effects of stress, going beyond resource limitations to include how significant the event feels.
