He also classified the types of psychological stress into life pressures, unusual pressures, long-term and short-term pressures, in addition to their effect by increasing the secretions of body hormones such as adrenaline and cortisone, especially their short-term effect, which effectively reverses their long-term effect, which works to destroy the body.
