Predicting the stress levels of working professionals is one of the most time-consuming and difficult research topics of current day. As a result, estimating working professionals’ stress levels is critical in order to assist them in growing and developing professionally. Numerous machine learning and deep learning algorithms have been developed for this purpose in previous papers. They do, however, have some disadvantages, including increased design complexity, a high rate of misclassification, a high rate of errors, and decreased efficiency. To address these concerns, the purpose of this research is to forecast the stress levels of working professionals using a sophisticated deep learning model called the Deep Recurrent Neural Network (DRNN). The model proposed here comprises dataset preparation, feature extraction, optimal feature selection, and classification using DRNNs. Preprocessing the original dataset removes duplicate attributes and fills in missing values.
