==Origin==
[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English] ''destresse'', from Anglo-French ''destresce'', from Vulgar Latin ''districtia'', from Latin ''districtus'', past participle of ''distringere'' or Distrain meaning to press, compress, grasp tightly, squeeze.
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_century 13th Century]
==Definitions==
*1a : seizure and detention of the [[goods]] of another as pledge or to obtain [[satisfaction]] of a claim by the sale of the goods seized
:b : something that is distrained
*2a : [[pain]] or suffering affecting the [[body]], a bodily part, or the [[mind]] : trouble <gastric distress>
:b : a painful situation : misfortune
*3: a state of [[danger]] or desperate need <a ship in distress>
==Description==
In [[medicine]], '''distress''' is an aversive state in which an [[animal]] is unable to [[adapt]] completely to [[stress]]ors and their resulting stress and shows maladaptive [[behaviors]]. It can be evident in the [[presence]] of various [[phenomena]], such as inappropriate [[social]] [[interaction]] (e.g., [[aggression]], passivity, or withdrawal).
Stress can be created by [[influences]] such as [[work]], [[school]], [[peers]] or co-workers, [[family]] and [[death]]. Other influences vary upon age. This means that distress is the [[opposite]] of eustress, a [[positive]] stress that [[motivates]] us. People under constant distress are more likely to become sick, mentally or physically.
People often find ways of dealing with distress, in both [[negative]] and [[positive]] ways. Examples of positive ways are [[listening]] to [[music]], [[calming]] [[exercises]], sports and similar [[healthy]] distractions. [[Negative]] ways can include but are not limited to use of [[drugs]], use of alcohol and [[expression]] of [[anger]], which are likely to lead to complicated [[social]] interactions, thus causing increased distress.
