Stress can affect anyone irrespective of their age. The common symptoms of stress include irritability, muscle tension, inability to concentrate, headache, increased heart rate and exhaustion. Some of the causes for stress include lack of sleep, exams, financial problems, personal and family issues that affect the mental state of a person.
