How Stress Affects Mental Health
Everyone experiences stress from time to time. When it becomes chronic, it can affect your mental health.
While we all feel stress from time to time, when it’s long lasting or chronic, it may begin to affect our mental health.
When stress interferes with your everyday life and causes you to stop doing the things that you love, consider acting to take care of yourself and your future health.
Though stress can be challenging to deal with, many things are within your control to help minimize and manage stress.
Psychological effects of stress
Stress can cause psychological and emotional distress. When it becomes chronic, it can increase your risk for anxiety and depression.
Experiencing long-term stressful situations, like caregiving without stress management efforts can lead to burnout.
Chronic stress can have negative effects on your body and mind and create a multitude of unpleasant physical and psychological symptoms.
