Stress is a normal part of daily life, something we all experience in certain circumstances. In short, manageable bursts, it is a healthy and normal physiological response. Not only does it help us be more productive, but it can bring awareness to a potential threat in our environment that needs addressing. However, ongoing chronic stress that isn’t appropriately dealt with can have profound effects on both our physical and mental wellbeing.
From hindering cognitive function to triggering depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, the toll on the mind can be significant. Moreover, stress can exacerbate existing medical conditions, ranging from cardiovascular issues to gastrointestinal disorders, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and management.
