Postgraduate Certificate in the Concept of Stress and the Aftermath of the Critical Situation

Stress is a normal response of the body to challenging situations that may jeopardize the emotional stability and physical health of the individual. In psychology, stress is defined as an ongoing, dynamic process in which someone experiences external or internal demands that threaten his or her well-being. These demands can be environmental stressors (such as noise, pollution, work overload, among others) or interpersonal (such as conflicts with co-workers, family problems, among others).

sequelae of critical situations are the consequences that people may suffer after having lived through extreme or very shocking situations, such as an accident, a natural disaster, violence, war, among others. These sequelae or symptoms can take the form of psychological disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression and chronic stress.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that occurs after living through or witnessing a violent or traumatic event. Its symptoms may include: re-experiencing the events, avoidance of situations related to the trauma, increased arousal, sleep problems, hypervigilance, anxiety, among others.

Anxiety is an emotional response to stressful situations, and can manifest itself as worry, fear, apprehension, uneasiness, insecurity, among others.

Depression is a psychological disorder characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities that were previously enjoyable, lack of energy, fatigue and alterations in sleep and appetite.

Chronic stress refers to prolonged stress, which is sustained over time without resolution. It can generate physical and emotional symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, headache, gastrointestinal disturbances, memory problems, sleep disorders, anxiety and depression.

The concepts of stress and the aftermath of critical situations in psychology refer to the response of the body and mind to stressful and extreme situations, and the consequences they can have on the emotional and physical health of the individual.
