Stress

Stress is the body’s natural response to perceived threats or challenges, activating the “fight or flight” response. It can arise from various sources, including work pressures, relationship issues, financial difficulties, or significant life changes. While stress can be a motivating factor that helps individuals meet deadlines or overcome obstacles, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health.

When stress becomes overwhelming, it can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Prolonged exposure to stress can contribute to serious health issues, including heart disease, depression, and weakened immune function.
