Abstract
Every day, high stress and mental workload negatively impact people and, depending on the circumstances, could put them in danger or make them hazardous. When perceived, stress sets the mind and the body in a fight or flight situation, i.e., blood is redirected from the minor vessels and retained in the major vessels so that the muscular system can react and allow quick movements. Body temperature lowering, faster heartbeats, or increased sweating, especially in the palm of the hands, are some of the main consequences of this phenomenon. On the other side, mental workload refers to the amount of mental effort necessary to accomplish a task: people required to do more than their abilities or resources allow may perform worse or even fail.
Health issues like chronic stress and depression can emerge in case of long-term exposure, possibly escalating into physical sickness; therefore, it is crucial to understand how these factors affect people
