Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand. Its symptoms may be mental, physical or social and include headaches, frustration, loss or increase of appetite, oversleeping or sleeplessness.
Everybody experiences stress at some point of life, stress can be work or job related, family related or can be because of your studies, poor health, financial problems etc. At times the death of a close person also causes stress. Some people handle stress effectively while some people fail to take appropriate steps to distress their life.
