Stress-Test

Are you stressed? Take this "Stress Test" to find out your Burn-Out Score.

Stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. What is stressful to one person is not necessarily stressful to another. Stress is a feeling of apprehension or fear. The source of this uneasiness is not always known or recognized, which can add to the distress you feel.


Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress is good -- it can motivate you and help you be more productive. However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can set you up for general poor health as well as specific physical or psychological illnesses like infection, heart disease, or depression. Persistent and unrelenting stress often leads to anxiety and unhealthy behaviors like overeating and abuse of alcohol or drugs.

Emotional states like grief or depression and health conditions like an overactive thyroid, low blood sugar, or heart attack can also cause stress.

Alternative Names for such Stress are Anxiety; Feeling uptight; Tension; Jitters; Apprehension
