Stress prevention management involves counseling, education, and implementation of techniques to manage problem-oriented and emotion-oriented stress. To prevent physical symptoms, relaxation and deep breathing are effective and individuals can learn to prevent the stress response through cognitive behavioral strategies. Medications are not indicated for patients with known stressors unless the stress is prolonged or the patient has ineffective coping mechanisms.
