With reference to the case below, answer the following question.

Deepak is a class 12 student who is unable to decide which course to pursue after 12^th. He is having difficulty in deciding between Physics and Economics as he likes to study both the subjects and wants to pursue them in undergraduation. Due to this he is unable to focus on any other goal. His friends and family are also posing demands on him which is making him feel frustrated. To overcome this he started deep breathing and following a diet.

Which type of stress is Deepak experiencing :-

Psychological Stress

Deepak is experiencing psychological stress due to the difficulty he is facing in making a decision about his future. This decision is causing him anxiety, frustration, and uncertainty. These emotions are all indicative of psychological stress.

The other options are not as appropriate:

• Physical and Environmental Stress is caused by physical or environmental factors, such as exposure to noise, pollution, or extreme temperatures. There is no indication that Deepak is experiencing any of these factors.
• Work Stress is caused by factors related to one's job, such as workload, deadlines, or pressure from supervisors. Deepak is a student, so work stress is not a relevant factor in his case.
• Social Stress is caused by social interactions, such as conflicts with friends or family, or feeling isolated or excluded. While Deepak is feeling pressure from his friends and family, this pressure is specifically related to his decision about his future, which makes it a form of psychological stress.
