The Four Types of Stress
The four main types of stress are: Eustress, Distress, Hyperstress, and Hypostress.
Eustress is a positive form of stress that has a beneficial effect on health. When the body experiences eustress, it releases endorphins, or "feel-good" chemicals. Eustress may be a result of going on vacation, getting a promotion at work, or other positive experiences.
