A study on the most influential type of stress among the people in various age groups and on the most common technique used by them to manage the stress

Stress is body's response to certain situations. Something that is stressful for you may not be stressful for someone else. There are many different kinds of stress and not all of them are bad. Stress can help one to act quickly in an emergency or helps to meet a deadline.

Stress can affect physical and mental health, and also the behavior of the people. The Body responds to stress by producing chemicals and hormones to help in rising to the challenge. The heart rate increases, brain works faster, and one has a sudden burst of energy. This response is basic and natural and it is what that kept our ancestors safe from hungry predators. But too much stress can have harmful effects. It's impossible to completely eliminate bad stress from one's life but how to avoid and manage it can be learned. The basic objective of this study is to determine various influential symptoms of stress in both males and females. Various symptoms of stress are identified from the journals written and research works done by the researchers. Also it has been tried to find out the most preferred techniques used by both the genders to get a relief from stress (as also found out by early researchers) through a questionnaire. A well drafted questionnaire is given to the people and conclusion is predicted through the analysis. It has been found that though males and females have different symptoms of stress on higher level but to relieve stress techniques are quite similar in them. Also some stress symptoms encountered by both the genders are found similar to some degree, as per this study.
