Answer:

Harmful or bad stress is called distress and productive or good stress is called eustress.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress is a type of psychological pain and can be described as a feeling of emotional or mental tension and pressure. Small amounts of stress can be beneficial and improve performance. But chronic stress is unhealthy and can increase the risks of ulcers, heart attacks, mental illness and strokes.

Hans Selye in 1974 proposed four variations of stress: good stress, called eustress; bad stress, called distress; over-stress, called hyperstress and understress, called hypostress.
