Abstract
Introduction: The term “stress” has been around since the 1600’s and has a very different meaning than that of today. During the 17th century, stress referred to adversity or hardship, whereas in the 18th and 19th centuries stress referred to the force or pressure applied to an object or an individual’s brain. Science adopted the latter definition and brought the term into common usage.
