Here is a list of vocabularies and expressions I thought might come handy when talking about "stress". If you have anything to add, please don't hesitate to post.
Here they are:
stress -> The process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging.
post-traumatic 'Stress Disorder (PTSD) -> A prolonged and severe stress reaction to a catastrophic event or to severe, chronic stress.
to stress somebody out -> to make someone so worried that they can not relax
to be stressed out -> to be so worried that you can not relax
to hyperventilate -> to breath too quickly or too deeply, so that you get too much oxygen and you feel dizzy
symptom -> something wrong with your body or mind that shows you have a particular illness; sign of a disease
rash -> a lot of red spots on one's skin caused by an illness
overwhelm -> if someone is overwhelmed by something (like an emotion or work), that thing is too much for them and they can not deal with it
vulnerable -> someone who is vulnerable can be easily harmed or hurt
perspiration -> sweat
burnout -> The physical, emotional and mental exhaustion brought on by persistent job-related stress.
psychophysiological illness -> A medical condition produced by psychological factors, such as stress
alleviate -> to relieve; to make something less painful or difficult to deal with
hassles -> Little stressors, including the irritating demands that can occur daily, that may cause more stress than major life changes do.
uplifts ->The positive experiences in life, which may neutralize the effects of many hassles.
socioeconomic Status -> A collective term for the economic, occupational, and educational factors that influence an individual's relative position in society.
cranky -> bad-tempered
nagging -> 1. making you worry or feel pain slightly all the time; 2. always complaining
insomnia -> if you suffer from insomnia you are not able to sleep

catharsis -> the act or process of removing strong or violent emotions by expressing them through writing, talking, action etc.
agitation -> when you are so anxious, nervous or upset that you can not think calmly
distress -> a feeling of extreme unhappiness
get gray hairs [idiom] -> one's hair become white in color from old age or stress ...
