One of the most important issues facing the globe today is work-related stress. Even while many companies are working hard to help their staff members maintain a healthy work-life balance, stress and worry can still arise from deadlines, additional workloads, and taking on too much responsibility.

This can worsen an employee's mental health. Stress has always been a part of our lives, according to Debasmita Sinha, chief psychologist and senior director of clinical excellence at Manah Wellness. Workplace stress is nothing new. Making a villain out of something that is beneficial to have in moderation, has always been, and cannot be eradicated would be calling work-related stress an epidemic. 

Stress is a normal reaction to an event that allows us to respond in a way that protects our physical and mental well-being. If there's an epidemic, it's our incapacity to handle or confront work-related stress. Let's concentrate on getting rid of this handicap. Here are some pointers on handling stress at work:
