STRESS - THE SILENT KILLER
The term stress has been used widely to label an event that puts pressure on a person to cope, adapt or take action. Stress is not necessarily negative. Stress is everywhere.

However everyone has a certain limit to the number of stress feelings that are manageable at one time. With an overload of stress, almost anyone can begin to feel overwhelmed.
