Abstract

In medical term “stress” is the change in mental and physical status of the body caused by factors including physical, mental or emotional tension. Stress can cause a lot of clinical and psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety. Stress complications are common in people experiencing very high levels of negative stress leading to weakness and overwhelming. It could be a result of continuous stress incidence due to different scenarios. “Stressed out” is a phenomenon that is highly increasing and affecting almost everyone. Stress is all over around us in every situation and every day, but the importance is how to handle the changes and not experiencing the changes as good or bad. Generally, changes in our life as we go on happen all the time and our reaction to these changes is what causes stress. Life changes such as studying a new level of education (e.g Masters), getting new job, losing a job, moving to new romantic partner, or family problems. These changes are new stressful events considered either positive and life-enhancing or negative. The degree of stress varies between high and low, people don`t like to experience the extremes of stress. However; the capacity of each person to overcome the changes in feeling varies. On the other hand, some people enjoy being overwhelmed in important challenging changes and some don`t like the total absence of stress. In conclusion, people tend to reach the middle ground a balance between a lack of stress and too much stress, moreover; human by nature want to live in a calm atmosphere without experiencing high levels of stress. In this paper, we did an empirical study by collected data from health sciences post grad students who work and study using a survey that was administered by smart phone applications. The main idea is to detect the causes that lead to stress and could worsen the mental and physical activity of the body.
