I like to use the word "Strain", for the conditions that generate Stress as a result;
This makes Stress and Strain an interactive system to study the causes of structural failures in the ontological /physiological of every Human being and relate them to forces of the environment.

So the environment would create deformation by Strain, and create Stress that has a different resistance or resilient capacity in every human, that I think is very dependent on the traumas and emotional development story of every individual (and of course genetics).
This is a personal extrapolation of the theory in Stress–strain analysis (or stress analysis) of the engineering discipline that studies the resistance of materials that uses many methods to determine the stresses(deformation and strain(pressure).
This is just a personal belief that there is no data or theories to support it, just a philosophical essay I made in the University.
