Answer 1

Changes of all sizes, both major and small that come about abruptly and gradually, have an impact on our lives. Events in life, whether anticipated or unforeseen, can be stressful and upsetting. A sudden influx of events might be stressful and exacerbate stress symptoms. The following are additional stressors:

1. Daily hassles such as noisy environment, quarrels, traffic delays, etc.
2. Traumatic events like car accidents, fire, earthquakes, robberies, etc. require professional help for coping.
