Stress

Stress literally means “tension” or “pressure.” There’s a difference between healthy stress, like before an exciting event, and unhealthy stress that lasts for a longer time. Stress symptoms can show up in your body, mind, behavior, or thoughts. Think of a rapid heartbeat, increased breathing, irritability, restlessness, trouble concentrating or sleeping, and turning to things like alcohol, drugs, or food. Persistent or chronic stress should be taken seriously. If you’re concerned, always consult your general practitioner or a psychologist.
