1. SECTION A1.1 Article 1. Managing stressFrom Mount's (2008) psychological perspective, stress is a part of everyone's life. Stress is a response that involves the whole person and includes mental, emotional, physical and behavioral components. Based on these forms of stress, they can concoct different levels of mentality, thereby placing unnecessary demands on the body and mind, thereby creating more burden on a person's life force and mental health (Mount, 2008). When stress begins to evolve, it can become noticeable in different ways. Emotional symptoms that may be associated with adverse reactions to stress include mood swings and irritability (Mount, 2008). There may also be a change in mood expressed by depression or anxiety. Feelings of panic and impulsive behavior occurred, as well as emotional withdrawal and isolation caused by the implications of stress, leading to unstable health having a detrimental impact on people's lives. Mount's research methodology comes from facts based on previous studies, creating a quantitative analysis of psychological stress. Mounts' methodology is primarily based on the Life Change Units Scale developed by Holmes and Rahe in 1967. The scale demonstrates the numerical classification of stress. Their belief is that stressors of up to 150, in a given year, are normal and not problematic; However, between 150 and 199 you have a 37 percent chance of getting sick and between 200 and 299 this increases to 51 percent, with 300+ being associated with a 79 percent chance of suffering from some type of physical illness or psychological. This scale is based on ranking problem situations that people encounter by assigning them a numerical value and combining them with others to obtain a combined number to determine stress level.
