Mental stress is a global problem. At present, it is taking the form of an invisible disease, which is increasing day by day.
Rarely is there anyone who never suffers from stress. The person does not look free from anxiety while walking or sleeping. Newspapers, TV, radio, etc. talk about stress from time to time.
A person is continually going through various types of stress, which have a direct effect on his management.
The presence of stress creates an imbalance in a person's adjustment. Life is an endless struggle in which, on the one hand, the individual efforts with his environment and, on the other hand, tries to adapt himself.
1. Know your stress
Life's challenges, interpersonal problems, and awkward social situations can all contribute to feelings of stress. But not everyone's stress is terrible.
Some levels of stress are suitable for a person and can help them achieve better performance and manage minor troubles.
However, when a person has to face constant challenges without any rest or relaxation, stress can become a 'crisis,' and this stress can lead to deterioration on a physical and mental level.

4. Symptoms can identify different states of stress:
At the first level (in a terrible state), many types of hormones produced in the body and are found in the bloodstream. These hormones cause a variety of physical and mental changes.
The mind and body are ready for anyone of these struggles or defenses. In conflict, a person struggles with the source of the stress and, if rescued, tries to escape.
B. Resistance stage
In a state of resistance, many glands of the body produce different types of secretions and protect the individual in many ways. At this stage, a person's immune system reaches its highest possible level and protects against many kinds of infections.
C. Exhausting Stage
If all the efforts of a person are not successful in relieving that stressful situation, then the level of surrender or fatigue begins.
Stress increases the sensitivity to hormones and significantly increases the risk of many physical ailments such as diabetes, vitiligo, intestinal ulcers, high blood pressure, asthma, cancer, and more.
5. What to do in a stressful situation?
First of all, you have to accept that you are responsible for stress. Stress management and planning is essential so that a person can control the situation and equip himself to deal with the stressful situation.
One must first introspect for stress management. In this process, it is essential to pay attention to three things -

2. Additional efforts are required to implement the work.
Depression and distress in the case of social deprivation in the individual family. Do you have to take medication ?.
Try to stay calm. In such a situation, do not waver, do not get exhausted, sometimes it is not your fault, but the case is as it is. Don't be angry with anyone. Try to control your anger. Don't think of suicide or any other evil thoughts. Everything will be okay in the future.
If you want to talk to someone, talk right away. If you don't have the person you want to talk to, call immediately. Always keep a good idea. Don't let negative thoughts get in your way.
6. How to avoid stress or pressure
