- The causes mentioned in (A) are of physical stresses and not psychological stresses.
- In a medical or biological context stress is a physical, mental, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.
- Stresses can be external (from the environment, psychological, or social situations) or internal (illness, or from a medical procedure).

Problem-focused coping targets the causes of stress in practical ways which tackles the problem or stressful situation that is causing stress, consequently directly reducing the stress. Problem focused strategies aim to remove or reduce the cause of the stressor, including: Problem-solving. Time-management.

- Realistic goals are set and defined before visualising and not after visualising.
- A realistic goal is one that you can reach given your current mindset, motivation level, timeframe, skills and abilities.
- Realistic goals help you identify not only what you want but also what you can achieve.

If pressures due to stress continue, one may suffer from mental overload. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can suppress your immune system, upset your digestive and reproductive systems, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, and speed up the aging process.

Krish Sharma answered |
Challenges, problems, and difficult circumstances put us to Stress.
Stress is a natural and inevitable part of life. It is a physiological response to a perceived threat or danger, which triggers the "fight or flight" response in the body. Stress can be caused by a wide range of factors, including challenging circumstances, problems, and difficult situations.
Heading: The Impact of Challenges on Our Lives
Challenges are a part of life. They come in many forms and can be difficult to overcome. Challenges can be small or large, and they can be personal or professional. They can be related to health, finances, relationships, or work. Challenges can be stressful, but they can also be rewarding.
Heading: The Relationship Between Problems and Stress
Problems are another factor that can cause stress. Problems can be related to work, relationships, health, finances, and many other areas of life. When we face a problem, it can be challenging to find a solution. This can lead to stress, anxiety, and worry.
Heading: Difficult Circumstances and Their Impact on Our Lives
Difficult circumstances, such as illness, loss, and trauma, can also cause stress. These events can be overwhelming and can take a toll on our physical and emotional well-being. When we face difficult circumstances, it can be challenging to find a way forward. It can be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional.
Heading: Coping with Stress
While stress is a natural part of life, it is important to find ways to cope with it. Coping strategies can include exercise, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and seeking support from others. It can also be helpful to identify the sources of stress in our lives and find ways to manage them. This might involve setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, or seeking professional help.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, challenges, problems, and difficult circumstances can cause stress. While stress is a natural part of life, it is important to find ways to cope with it. By identifying sources of stress and finding effective coping strategies, we can reduce the impact of stress on our lives.

It is true that all life’s challenges are not necessarily stressful. It strictly depends on how a challenge is viewed.
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct option:Hans Selye, a Vienna-born scientist, working in the 20th century, was the first person to describe GAS. Selye found that rats displayed a similar set of physical responses to several different stressors. The latter included cold temperatures, excessive physical exertions, and injection with toxins. The scientist explained GAS as the body’s way of adapting to a perceived threat to better equip it to survive. A paper on Selye’s GAS theory was published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology in 1946. The three stages of GAS are: (A) Alarm reaction (B) Resistance (C) Exhaustion When does GAS occur? Selye’s study was limited to physical stressors, such as cold temperatures and physical overexertion. However, it is now understood that life events that induce psychological stress cause the same physical reactions, as were seen in Selye’s study.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct option:
Hans Selye, a Vienna-born scientist, working in the 20th century, was the first person to describe GAS. Selye found that rats displayed a similar set of physical responses to several different stressors. The latter included cold temperatures, excessive physical exertions, and injection with toxins. The scientist explained GAS as the body’s way of adapting to a perceived threat to better equip it to survive. A paper on Selye’s GAS theory was published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology in 1946. The three stages of GAS are: (A) Alarm reaction (B) Resistance (C) Exhaustion When does GAS occur? Selye’s study was limited to physical stressors, such as cold temperatures and physical overexertion. However, it is now understood that life events that induce psychological stress cause the same physical reactions, as were seen in Selye’s study.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct option:A Measure of Stressful Life EventsHolmes and R ahe developed a life event measure of stress. A measure of stressful life events based on the above scale known as the Presumptive Stressful Life Events Scale has been developed for the Indian population by Singh, Kaur and Kaur. It is a self-rating questionnaire made up of fifty-one life changes, which a person may have experienced. Each of these life events is assigned a numerical value in terms of their severity. For example, the death of one’s spouse is assigned 95, personal illness or injury 56, failure in examination 43, appearing for examination or interview 43, change in sleeping habits 33, as the mean stress score. Both positive and negative events are taken, believing that both kinds of changes cause stress. The respondent’s stress score is the weighted sum of all the items/life change events in the past one year checked by her/him.Some sample items of the measure are :
The mean number of stressful life events experienced over a period of one year without producing overt physical or mental illness is approximately two. However, the correlations between life events and susceptibility to any particular illness is low, indicating a weak association between life events and stress. It has been argued as to whether life events have caused some stress-related illness or whether stress caused the life events and illness. The impact of most life events varies from person to person. Factors such as age at which the event was first experienced, frequency of occurrence, duration of the stressful event and social support must be studied in evaluating the relationship between stressful life events and the subsequent illness episode.Q.

The sort of life events that can cause a person to experience stress and GAS include (relationship breakdowns, losing a job, medical problems and money troubles) In theory, the fact that these situations can cause GAS may be beneficial. The alarm reaction gives people a burst of energy and concentration that could help them to problem-solve. For most people, however, the physical response their body goes through when they are under stress is not helpful. Unlike threats people may have faced in the Stone Age, a person nowadays is unlikely to be able to resolve a stressful situation of modern day life with a burst of energy. Long-term stress can have a negative impact on a person physically and on their immune system. A 2008 paper noted that chronic stress could lead to increased risk of viral infection, stomach ulcers, depression and heart disease.Q.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct option:
Hans Selye, a Vienna-born scientist, working in the 20th century, was the first person to describe GAS. Selye found that rats displayed a similar set of physical responses to several different stressors. The latter included cold temperatures, excessive physical exertions, and injection with toxins. The scientist explained GAS as the body’s way of adapting to a perceived threat to better equip it to survive. A paper on Selye’s GAS theory was published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology in 1946. The three stages of GAS are: (A) Alarm reaction (B) Resistance (C) Exhaustion When does GAS occur?
