Stress makes you ill!
What happens when pressure continues for a long time – resulting in chronic stress? Chronic stress can cause a wide range of health problems. It can affect and impair the function of lots of organs, from our heads to our feet:
migraine, asthma, tinnitus, allergies, burnout, depression, cardiovascular diseases, disorders of the immune, musculoskeletal and reproductive systems, gastric diseases, skin diseases, pain and sleep disturbances are just a few of the many diseases in which stress can play a major role.
Often, these disturbances occur imperceptibly because daily stress is considered “normal” rather than an unaccustomed mental burden. However, some people respond with mental sensitivity without their physical functions being impaired. Whether a person will develop a stress-related disease is ultimately determined by the individual interplay of many extremely diverse genetic, biological and mental factors, which may finally result in a number of functional changes in the brain that, subsequently, lead to mental and bodily disturbances.
Is it possible to measure stress-related functional changes?
It is now possible to measure whether stress has led to changes in any of a patient’s specific functions using a new diagnostic system. A team of researchers at the University of Trier has developed a highly innovative procedure which records specific patterns in mental, biological and symptomatic changes that are key features of stress-related disturbances. The neuropattern™ diagnosis system is used to create individual profiles and obtain specific recommendations for prevention and treatment.
