Description:
The Encyclopedia of Stress is the first comprehensive reference source on stressors, the biological mechanisms involved in the stress response, the effects of activating the stress response mechanisms, and the disorders that may arise as a consequence of acute or chronic stress. In addition to subjects traditionally associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the Encyclopedia covers a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the cardiovascular system, and physical illnesses. It also goes beyond the biological aspects to cover topics such as stress and behavior, psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders, workplace stress, and current therapies.
