It is all the same thing and the divisions are artificial lines created by men, not nature. Neurotransmitters, cytokines, and hormones are all messengers and the classification as one or another is far more "fuzzy" than we are led to believe.
Distress triggers inflammation and inflammation provokes a stress response. And hormones and cytokines are both as neuroactive as dopamine or any other we are familiar with.
One of our biggest problems is overcoming this division of professional turf.
If you have not seen it, I have attached a survey that Idid on stress and PWP. The comments at the end are telling. I have over 90 now with no change
