Abstract: Studies have shown that stress is an inevitable part of life. It is the inability of individual to cope with threat (realor imagined) which results in series of responses and adaptations. It can lead to feelings of depression, frustrationand anxiety. As much as the physical effects of this ‘epidemic’ are often emphasized, the economic consequencesare also alarming. It has been discovered that not all stress are bad, some are actually needed to move forward inlife. Thus, stress can be seen as a friend and foe; it is found among the rich and the poor. The purpose of thispaper is to discuss the concept of stress and its causes, how to identify the signs and symptoms and the strategiesfor eliminating it.
