I don’t see the list of statements you want evaluated — please paste them.

While you do, here’s a quick reference of true facts about common types of stress so you can spot the correct statement:

- Acute stress: short-lived (minutes–hours), triggers the fight-or-flight response (increased heart rate, adrenaline), usually resolves once the situation ends.
- Episodic acute stress: repeated or frequent acute stress episodes (e.g., a person who is always rushed or anxious); can produce persistent symptoms like headaches, high blood pressure, irritability.
- Chronic stress: long-lasting (weeks, months, years), results from ongoing problems (financial strain, caregiving); increases risk of depression, cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction.
- Traumatic stress / PTSD: results from exposure to a life-threatening or traumatic event; characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, avoidance, and persistent distress.
- Eustress: “positive” stress that motivates and improves performance; typically short-term and perceived as within coping ability.
- Distress: harmful stress perceived as outside coping ability; associated with negative health outcomes.

If you paste the statements, I’ll identify which one is true and explain why.
