Over time, several definitions of stress have been put forward. It was first thought to be the result of external pressure, and later it was linked to internal tension. These days, the most widely recognized definition is the one that discusses an individual's interactions with their surroundings. When a person lacks the resources to meet the expectations and stress of their environment, they suffer from psychological and physical strain.
