How to identify stress ? In the human context, stress is synonymous with goal striving.It is by and large a matter of perception. Therefore it is impossible to measure stress completely because 1:- it never stops, and 2:- the complexity of stress – involving psychological and emotional and spiritual components does not allow complete disclosure of all processes.
