The word 'Stress' has now turned into one of the most widespread words in everyday

speech. This is also very important to almost all the people from all the sectors related

to a person's living; whether it is related to the rural or urban areas; belonging to

armed forces or civilians; related or unrelated to trade and business etc.

As the word suggests, Stress does not only depict the 'pains or sorrows' which are

present at various stages or that puts you in an unclear, fuzzy, and frequently

miserable situation but, many times it also reflects the legal concerns of our modern

life and is applicable for both, the ordinary people and as well as the investigators.

Occupational stress reflects the 'normal range' of patience & humanity; whether good

quality or bad quality, positive and negative; generally, an unsafe phase of life.

Depression, on the other hand, affects the mental and physical welfare of an

individual, whereas it can also affect the productivity, efficiency, or output of any

major financial establishment, which, in turn, has a major impact on the country's economical system.

When the stress becomes occupational, it starts affecting the employees. The

employees at the basic level experience aggravation, disturbance, and frustration due

to little wages, improper working environment, improper terms and conditions of

employment, pitiable working conditions, and poor management, and so on.

The growth and development of every business depend mainly on how well it adapts

and sustain according to the changing needs of the environment. As it is a matter of

fact, that the organizations in the present era require being more flexible and elastic

and cannot think of being too much rigid, to become ready to adapt and develop their

employees and enjoy their dedication and commitment to the organization. The

organizations must develop and plan a strong strategy for the development and growth

of their employees probably by focusing on providing good quality of work-life and

minimizing the unnecessary pressure of work over the employees for increasing their

overall performance and later on the organizational performance which is truly linked

with the performance and productivity of the employees in the organization.

It is also interesting to note that, along with the increased demands on employees, the

employee needs have also grown-up simultaneously and this is also putting pressure

on the employees as lack of need fulfillment creates stress leading to depression at a

later stage. Other sources of stress may also be noticed which do not necessarily relate

to the working environment of the organization.

Stress is also sometimes considered as a mental and physical response to an external

stimulus whereas, the state of depression is considered to be a series including mental

change or any disorder related to stress that could be related to the behavior, affection,

or any other disorder.
