The body responds to emotional or physical stress by the general adaptation syndrome.If stress extends for long periods of time,this can lead to exhaustion,whereby energy stores are depleted and the body has no defenses against invading organisms.Techniques of deep breathing and visualization may be helpful with pain,but the interventions listed are not all standard interventions taught at every health care visit.
