<span>False. Stress becomes unmanageable when
exhaustion sets in. Exhaustion is already equivalent to giving up. No amount of
strength or force could cause an action to make an individual continue
performing. Often exhaustion is associated with fickle-mindedness and clouded
judgment. Stress releases chemicals within the body that cause these reactions.

the best solutions to managing stress.</span>
