I Feel Stressed

Understanding Stress

Stress is your body’s natural reaction to being under pressure from a certain scenario or occurrence. It could be a physical, psychological, or emotional reaction.

Symptoms of stress affect people differently, and the causes of stress range from person to person.

The amount of stress you are comfortable dealing with may be higher or lower than others. However, persistent stress symptoms could be affecting your health, and you may not even realise it.
