Summary
Modern medical practice depends heavily on profiles, but so far, we have no standard stress profile. This chapter presents a few of the options for creating a stress profile that can guide your decisions about risks and treatment planning. It then distills the complexities of stress measurement to three types of assessments: subjective distress, lifetime exposures and responses, and physiologic measures of toxic stress responses.
