Abstract
Stress is a multifaceted n from psychologists, medical professionals, and researchers due to its profound effects on mental and physical well-being. Stress refers to the body's response to any demand or challenge, often perceived as a threat or strain on an individual's resources. It can be caused by external factors, This article explores the definitions, causes, and consequences of stress, emphasizing its complexity and pervasive impact. Definitions changes that require adjustment or action. Hans Selye, a pioneering endocrinologist, described stress as the “nonspecific response of the body to any demand.” This definition highlights that stress is not inherently negative; instead, it is a general reaction, such as preparing for an important exam or competing in a sports event. Conversely, distress, or “negative stress,” occurs when demands exceed an individual's coping abilities, potentially leading to harmful consequences.
