Hans Selye first introduced the General Adaptation Syndrome, which led the way to continual interest in stress and the effect on the body.Selye reported that, to a certain extent, stress can be challenging and useful, which he identified as eustress.Selye also observed that when stress becomes chronic or excessive, the body is unable to adapt and maintain homeostasis and thus the process becomes distress.Stress can be both useful and harmful.Eustress is useful, not harmful.Although a myocardial infarction (MI) is stressful physically and psychologically, joining a cardiac rehab program in response to the MI will improve cardiac and overall health and well-being.The other examples indicate unhealthy coping strategies.
