1. Introduction

There has been considerable debate on anxiety among experts as to how to adequately define stress. If we say that stress is the level of anxiety produced by the individual we are left with the question of whether or not someone is under anxiety without being consciously aware of it. On the other hand, if we talk about anxiety, we are confronted with the fact that not everyone reacts to the same situation in a stressful manner. Stress is with us all the time. It comes from mental or emotional activity, as well as physical activity .It is unique and personal to each of us. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge and activity to life. But too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental well -being. In the present era life is so complex and hard that its existence without stress is unthinkable. Stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, nervous, or over- anxious.
