STRESS when people describing the term stress they use 
words like worry , anxiety, burden, disquiet,dread, hardship,hassle , nervousness,strain,
tension, apprehension , misgiving, fearfulness and more .However what is stressful for one person may have a little effect on another person .what feel like a pressure or burden having no effect on other person .

Different people think differently for stress . My thinking will be different from what you think about stress . 
I want to share five definitions of stress from different articles done by different researchers .
I hope these five  (o5) definitions will help you to understand stress and after understanding them , I will also mention the ways by which you can keep yourslef far from stress no matter which type of stress it may be .
DEFINTION 1:

STRESS IS A DISTRESS Basically, stress is a word orginate from distress . Distress ia a mediate word for  pain , torture and starvation. 
Giving someone pain either it is 
physicaly or mentally will lead to stress. same for torture and starvation. 
from my observations , it can be state that MENTAL PAIN WILL GIVE YOU MORE STRESS THAN PHYSICAL PAIN .

DEFINTION 2:STRESS FROM PERCEPTION:HANS SELYE THE FATHER OF STRESS HANDLING:
 He defined stress as : STRESS IS A PRECEPTION 

PERCEPTION IS THE DEMAND
THAT ARE IMPOSED ON US 
BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO 
MANY ALTERNATIVES .  

DEFINITION NO:3
STRESS FROM ENVIRONMENTAL DEMANDS
HOLYRAYD AND LAZARUS Define stress as: Physcological stress requries a judgement that environment or internal demands 

exceeds the resources of indivisual for managing them 




DEFINITION NO: 4
STRESS FROM UNDERLOAD AND OVERLOAD 
                                                     STEINBERGS AND RITZMAN Cosidered that stress can be defined as underload and overload of energy ,
matter or information input to or output from a living system 


DEFINITION NO :5STRESS FROM NEGATIVE EMOTIONS In 1998 ,ROGERS described stress as :  "preoccupation with negative emotions will lead to stress"



DEPRESSION : 
Physcologically , depression can be define as a mood disorder 
it may be described as a feeling or sadness,loss,or anger that interfere with persons daily activities .

DEPRESSION MAKES YOU FEEL WORTHLESS,PAINFUL AND SAD 

STRESS CAUSES DEPRESSION :

As I mentioned above that stress in not a bad thing but when it exceeds it will become  worse for you . 
I must say, too much stress or in other words chronic stress may lead to major depression in susceptible people.

Depression is fairly common . Few days ago , I was analyzing a 
article . I come to know through that article a estimated figure of depression among  the adults of AMERICA . 
 The center of disease control and prevention (CDC) estimates that 
8.1 percent of AMERICAN adults from age 20 and more than 20 had depression . 

STRESS EITHER IT IS ACUTE OR CHRONIC LEAD TO DEPRESSION :
Stress wether chronic such as you are stressfull about taking care of your parent  with ALZHEIMERS , or suppose you are having a child with PARKINSONS DISEASE and you are worried about him , you are taking stress this stress will starts slowly but if you are not stopping yourself from taking stress it will now make you depress. 
stress if it is acute , such as losing a job , or the death of a loved one can lead to major depression .

                             








This is all about my first article about stress and depression .The main motto  behind this artice is  just make you people know about 
stress and depression . Remember if you have any type of stress either it is acute or chronic ,just cope with it otherwise it will make you depress .I had mentioned in my article that stress is cause of depression , from this you can suggest  that stress is more easy to cope than the depression . 
In my upcoming articles I will also share with you all the factors and ways by which you can keep yourself far away from stress and depression .
If you are depressed or stressed , categorize your stress and share with me . 
I will try my best to help you . 
At the end of this article I just want to write a sentence 
"DO NOT IGNORE YOUR STRESS COPE WITH IT 
OTHERWISE IT WILL DEPRESS YOU "
