Solution

Hypostress refers to an insufficient amount of stress which leads to under-stimulation and the person gets bored, restless, and demotivated.
Hyperstress refers to high levels of stress which may lead to panic attacks, frustration, or exaggerated reactions.
In the case of both hypostress and hyperstress, the performance of the person shows deterioration. In hypostress, the individual feels a lack of challenge and enthusiasm. In hyperstress, as the stress levels are very high, the person feels anxiety, distress and may behave in an overwhelmed, dysfunctional manner.
