actually emotional stress, physical with mental stress can cause stress gastritis which is the first (generally) entity that occurs, ususally long before an ulcer is created due to the same stress response....but the ulcer can come later and we want to intercede (when it is just stress gastritis) as to prevent it.
Alot of this is how the body, and mind, deal with stress...there is eu-stress (good stress) that keeps us at the best of our game and dys-stress, that leads to bad things happening to the body, and mind.
If anyone is interested, the book by Hans Selye, 'The stress of Life' is THE book that describes this.
We all thrive on some element of stress, but sometimes there is to much and the body reacts not how we want it to, hence the original question asked.
