"Stress occurs whenever an individual is faced with a tense or threatening situation that requires or demands adjustment and behavioral change. When stress occurs, it is vital that an individual learns how to adjust, failing which there is the very real risk of prolonged stress ultimately leading to psychological and physical disorders. Adjustment refers to the process of coping with stress by balancing our needs and desires against the demands of the situation and making decisions based on realistic options that are available (Understanding Psychology, Chapter 11)."
