The term "stressful events" refers to any situation or experience that causes an individual to feel stress, anxiety, tension, or discomfort. These events can be positive (such as getting married) or negative (such as losing a job), but in either case they trigger physiological and emotional responses that can have both short-term and long-term effects on mental and physical health. Stressful events can include major life changes, traumatic experiences, unexpected challenges, or chronic stressors such as financial difficulties or relationship problems. The severity of the response to a stressful event varies from person to person, but it is important for individuals to recognize their own limits and seek support when needed in order to manage stress effectively.
