It can cause a lot of suffering and be away a man from decision making and the correct functioning. Stress can cause physical diseases that are fatal. Here we deal with a definition of stress and determine whether it is really? Sometimes each person may be experiencing stress. An employee who disagree with his coworker may be has conflict about an issue or has an argument with his boss, the student who has the test or change academic orientation, the firefighters or police who are at difficult and stressful position, Company manager who is worried about losing customers or politicians who are losing their popularity, Somehow suffered from psychological pressure or stress.
