Acute distress and Chronic distress
✓
Answer
Acute distress is an intense, short-term negative stress while chronic distress is a long-lasting, recurrent negative distress.
Acute distress occurs when there is a sudden change in routine or when we experience panic or threat, e.g. traffic jam, accident. Chronic distress is the worst type of stress-causing constant changes in routine for a long period of time. e.g. illness of a family member, death of a spouse.
