However, an excess of stress can make a person dysfunctional. The threshold of stress differs for each individual. The consequences of stress have been described under three broad categories: Psychosomatic, psychological, and behavioral. Though stress has become an inevitable part of our social functioning, it can be prevented and managed to a large extent through planned efforts. Some strategies for counteracting stress at organizational and individual levels have been suggested.
