Academic stress is a mental distress with respect to some apprehended frustration associated with academic failure, apprehension of such failure or even an awareness of the possibility of such failure (Gupta and Khan, 1987). In the context of school, academic stress means a pervasive sense of urgency to learn all these things which are related to or prescribed by the school (Shah, 1988). Academic stress is the product of a combination of academic-related demands that exceed the adaptive resources available to an individual. In India, about 4 million older people are reported to have psychological problems related to lack of family support, social support, physical disabilities, lack of income, dissatisfaction with their life achievements, changes in normal lifestyle and other social problems (Mc Evoy, 2007).
