Answer 1

1) Stress is a type of response towards any type of change that changes can be physical or mental.

2) Eustress is a positive type of stress which is beneficial for us. For example, the first time going on a date.

Distress is just the opposite of eustress because it is the negative stress and it demotivates us and gives negativity. For example, break up with boyfriend.

3) Basically eustress effect is very short-lasting like high blood respiration rate and heart rate or sweating or feeling happy or excited so whenever it is talked about the stress effect it is a mean distress effect.
