Since then, it’s also been referred to as the emergency response or the fight, flight, or freeze response (because some people freeze like a “deer caught in headlights” when they feel overly stressed). (Octo– October 1, 1945), an American physiologist, professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School called the stress response the “fight or flight response” (or Acute Stress Response). Stress can initiate the "fight or flight" response, a complex reaction of neurologic and endocrinologic systems. Stresses can be external (from the environment, social situations, etc.) or internal (illness, from a medical procedure, behavior, etc.). In a medical or biological context: stress is a physical, mental, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension. A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.
