Stress
Stress: Introduction
Emotional stress or just "stress" is not considered a formal psychological disorder.
A psychologist may categorize the condition as "general stress" or perform treatment
for "general stress management", but ordinary levels of stress are
not considered a valid formal psychological diagnosis.
The term "stress" usually refers to emotional or psychological stress in common usage,
but may occasionally refer to physical stress from exertion or exercise,
such as in medical studies of physical conditioning.
