Overview

Stress is the body’s natural response to danger or challenge. While stress itself is a normal part of life, recurring stress can interfere with daily activities and overall well-being. Stress can manifest itself in different ways, including excessive worrying, inability to sleep at night, and body aches.



Triggers generally cause stress, and everyone has different stress triggers. Work stress tops the list, according to surveys. Some of the main sources of stress, apart from work, include finances, relationships, parenting, and day-to-day inconveniences.

 



Long-term stress can affect the whole body and can cause other serious issues, for example, anxiety, depression, and cardiac problems. If you feel stress is starting to interfere with your daily activities, it’s time to reach out for help. The treatment of stress mainly comprises managing the condition, knowing the triggers, and starting therapies along with lifestyle modifications.
