What are the different types of stress that can impact our mental and physical well-being?

There are three main types of stress that can affect our mental and physical health: acute stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress. Acute stress is short-term and typically caused by specific events or situations. Episodic acute stress occurs when a person experiences frequent acute stress episodes. Chronic stress is long-term and can result from ongoing situations like work pressure or relationship issues. All three types of stress can have negative effects on our well-being if not managed effectively.
