Answer to Question 1

Chronic stress can suppress the immune system, increase risk of atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Chronic stress in middle-aged adults can impair memory and executive cognitive functions. Stress serves as a major trigger for angina, causes arrhythmias, causes blood to become stickier, reduces estrogen in women, increases production of certain proteins that damage cells, causes sudden increases in blood pressure, increases the risk of IBS, causes weight fluctuations, is associated with the development of insulin resistance, causes tension headaches, causes sexual dysfunction, causes infertility, and results in poorer memory and cognitive performance. One effect of stress on psychological health is post-traumatic stress disorder, which is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened.
