Answer:

distress

Explanation:

When stress becomes detrimental to a human being, it is called distress and manifests itself when a person cannot adapt to a particular situation, becoming unable to concentrate, change such a circumstance and return to his normal state. As a reaction, the body causes physical and emotional imbalance, anxiety, insomnia, various body aches, eating disorders, decreased immune defenses, aggressiveness and low efficiency, as well as work and personal life problems. Distress intimidates the human being, causing him to escape the problem and not try to solve it.

In short, we can say that distress is the kind of stress that exceeds the ideal level, is no longer a positive force, and becomes excessive and debilitating.
