Stress and coping with stress

Abstract

Stress is your body's reaction to being under pressure from a circumstance or occurrence. It could be an emotional, mental, or bodily reaction. Stress is unavoidable; we must learn to live with it and successfully handle it, if not cope with it. Stress is best characterised as a syndrome caused by multiple factors with a wide range of manifestations ranging from mild to severe within the physical and mental framework of the human body. Stress can have a variety of impacts on the body, ranging from changes in homeostasis to life-threatening effects and death, depending on the nature, timing, and severity of the applied stimulus. Many diseases and pathological situations are made worse by stress, which can be a triggering or aggravating factor. Stress and sickness have a complicated relationship. Susceptibility to stress differs from one person to the next.
