High-Stress Environments:

"A "high stress environment" refers to any situation or setting that consistently exposes individuals to significant levels of stress. This stress can stem from various sources, including, but not limited to, high workloads, tight deadlines, challenging interpersonal dynamics, high stakes or consequences of failure, physical danger, or the need for constant, rapid decision-making. While environments saturated with conflict can indeed be high stress, the term is broader and includes any scenario that demands sustained mental, emotional, or physical effort under pressure, which can lead to stress-related symptoms or conditions in individuals."
