[Mental illness and stress].
Main purpose of my presentation was to give a review on the effects of the stress-factors on the psyche. This aspect has not been taken into consideration sufficiently yet in theory of stress. I like to stress once more that it is the excessive, too intensive stress reaction which is leading to psychic disturbances as well as functional disturbances. Stress which does not exceed a certain extent has to be considered physiologically: the organism needs it as stimulans to obtain its functions: it could not survive without this stimulans. The situation only becomes risky if the stress factors are causing pathogenous disturbances. This situation has been named "dis-stress" by Selye. The best guarantees to avoid "dis-stress" as well as psychic stress-disorders are changing of attitude of life, compensation of overstrain by sensible recreational activities, going in for sport, engagement for human and social environmental factors as well as a harmonic family-life and a conception of life in the sense of imperturbability and tolerance.
