Definition, Causes, Symptoms and Solutions

Stress is a state of mental and emotional strain on our body, mind and spirit.
It occurs when we face adverse (unpleasant) situations.
In life we would face situations that may challenge us to do better or situations
that may frustrate us.

Adrenaline- increases your heart rate and your blood flow.
