Summary/Abstract: Motivation of topic: Mental stress is one of the main triggers for different psychiatric or physical illnesses. Which are the mechanisms played by the mental structure to develop or not the body response to stress. Objective: The present paper aims to differentiate the mental structures which are mostly affected by psychological stress. To find the personality type more predisposed to react to stress and the most resilient features. Hypothesis: The extrovert and flexible persons are likely to respond much better to all type of mental stress then the introvert and rigid type, by more complex defense mechanisms. Conclusions: There are so many stress factors and there are so many combinations of personalities, which make almost impossible a mathematical theory to apply. Family, work, social skills, environment and more would influence the defense mechanisms and the response to the stressor. Only a person with very good adaptive skills could face a mental stress without permanent damage or alterations.
