An interesting history of stress research:
Since the days of René Descartes, the seventeenth-century mathematician, Western science has followed the doctrine that the mind and body are separate. Today, thanks to the ineptness of an endocrinologist, Hans Selye, we are now well aware that emotions and the mind play a critical role in our physiological responses, though many doctors still sadly practice medicine as if they were separate.2, 3, 4
In the 1930s, Selye was an assistant professor attempting to do some research on rats to determine the effects of an ovarian extract. He would try to inject the rats, but would end up dropping them on the floor, chasing them around the room, and finally injecting them with the extract.2 At the end of several months of this, Selye found that the rats had peptic ulcers, greatly enlarged adrenal glands (the source of two important stress hormones), and shrunken immune tissues. As in all good research, he ran a control group and injected rats with just saline solution. He was surprised to find the same symptoms. Clearly, the physical problems were not the result of the ovarian extract. Selye thought about his treatment of the rats and reasoned that perhaps there were changes in the rats’ bodies as a result of the traumas they had to suffer under his handling. To test this during the winter, he put some on the roof of the research building and some in the boiler room; some were forced to exercise, and some underwent surgical procedures. All of the rats developed peptic ulcers, adrenal enlargement, and atrophy of the immune tissues.2 He borrowed the engineering term – stress – to describe the phenomenon. He made two observations:
• The body has a set of similar responses to a broad array of stressors.
• Under certain conditions, the stressors will make you sick
