Answer:

both mental and physical processes

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress is a physical and mental response of our body to a stimulus. When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to “fight or flight” mode, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine to prepare the body for physical action.

Maintaining a state of stress for long periods can be detrimental to health. The results of elevated cortisol levels may be an increase in sugar and blood pressure levels and a decrease in libido. It can also cause mental problems and bad emotions.

Accordingly, we can conclude that stress responses include mental and physical processes.
