“Stress isn’t just an emotion. It’s a silent performance killer.”
A few months ago, I noticed something strange.
Even the smartest, most hard-working medical students around me were struggling.
Not with knowledge.
Not with exams.
But with focus, decisions, and mental energy.
So, I decided to turn curiosity into research.
🎯 I conducted a study with 150 MBBS students (ICMR-STS approved) to explore:
How much stress they’re really under
How they try to cope with it
And what impact it has on cognitive performance, using the Stroop Test
The results?
🧠 88.6% were in moderate stress
🕒 Poor coping = slower mental response
✅ Better coping = faster, sharper minds
Stress alone didn’t break performance.
Lack of coping did.
We found a clear negative correlation between stress levels and mental efficiency.
Whether you're a clinician, student, business owner or leader:
This isn’t just about med school — it’s about every high-performance environment.
💡 So I built a framework from our findings:
C.O.P.E.
✔️ Check your stress
✔️ Optimize daily rituals
✔️ Protect your decision-making
✔️ Engineer your recovery
