 Hippocrates believes that the disease is not just pain and injury (pathos) but body's effort to restore balance (ponos).Therefore, gastritis is one of the diseases which may be associated with stress.

 The term gastritis was introduced in 1908 by Brousoas  Gastritis represents inflammations, acute or chronic, of the gastric mucosa.  May be symptomatic or asymptomatic  It may have limited evolution or may progress into serious complications
