We have awards like Field's medal or Nobel prize or Olympic medal for achievement or excellence in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths), sports etc.
How come we don't have an award or recognition for exceptional stress felt?
Many people recognise emotions as the currency for achievement. These are the people who focus on how you felt or how I felt or how he made her feel as the primary way to evaluate human beings and not what you or I or she achieved in various fields.
How come we haven't yet gotten around to formally recognizing emotions or advances in emotions?
For example, there may be a new Princess who couldn't breath because of a pea in her bed. Or consider my friend who was flummoxed because her husband tested covid-19 positive when her daughter's birthday was around the corner. And the friend was torn apart by having to address the needs of both her husband and her daughter. Who recognised the turmoil she went through?

The well known awards such as Nobel or Olympics focus on a result. These results are a result of emotions such as desire, perseverance, drive / ambition. Without these emotions, results are unlikely to be achieved. Where is the formal acknowledgement of the richness of emotions that a person feels?
How come, then, we focus our attention on an end result than on the lead indicator, aka emotions?
How come no one has taken up cudgels on behalf of emotions?
