Abstract
The article considers the biological nature and origins of emotional stress. Emotional stress is primarily formed within the mental activity of the brain in the form of pronounced negative emotions. The “Dynamic Theory of Emo-tions” characterizes the development of a continuous negative emotional state in conflicting behavioral situations when the subject is unable to satisfy its strong dominant need for a long time. The emotional stress is represented as having a dual nature, i.e. a biologically negative pathogenetic effect on health, but a positive impact on the adaptation of individuals, self-preservation of life, and evolutionary change in species.

Summary
The concept of stress as a general non-specific adaptive syndrome of the body was first formulated in the works of H. According to its biological purpose, stress has an adaptive focus, and activates protective mechanisms to prevent the pathogenic effect of adverse factors on the body. Stress develops through a series of successive phases: anxiety, resistance, and exhaustion. In the phase of anxiety, primary stress reactions appear. Yumatov overcoming an unfavorable situation; in the phase of exhaustion, the stress state has a negative damaging effect on the physiological functions of the body. Science has developed an idea of emotional stress as a psychoemotional state of a subject, which is characterized by a complex of nonspecific (with respect to initiating emotional factors) psychophysiological, autonomic, and hormonal manifestations [4]-[9]
