Study stress can be defined as a state of strain, tension or pressure in school or as a student and it is a normal reaction resulting from interaction between the student and the environment.

Stress is a natural feeling designed to help you to cope in challenging situations. In small amounts, it can be good because it pushes you to work hard and do your best, such as during exams. But if you are too stressed, or you reach a point you can’t manage it, it can lead to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, and can also affect your academic performance. Some examples of signs of stress are irritability, anxiety, and sleep problems, shortness of breath or breathing very fast.

Understanding stress is an important part of stress management. There are two main types of stress: Acute stress and Chronic stress.

Acute stress is the body’s immediate reaction to a perceived threat. Acute stress can propel you to move away from danger, or in some cases even give you energy. Generally, acute stress does not cause significant problems. But when it occurs regularly, it can trigger anxiety, panic attacks, or other health related issues.

Chronic stress occurs when there are several acute stressors that don’t go away. It builds up over time and the effects may be more problematic and cause long lasting issues.
