Rotor blade stall

Hello- just a fixed wing guy here with a question or 2.

Are the main rotors (or indeed the tail rotor) prone to stalling in the same way as a fixed wing ie critical Alpha?

what sort of symptoms are present?

and if so do you treat the individual blades reaching this angle or does the disc react as a whole if that makes sense ? ( ie it simply won’t bite the air any harder or like a fixed wing it will actually descend the more collective you pull?
