Stress

Symptoms:

• Constant fatigue or exhaustion

• Irritability or mood swings

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach problems, or muscle tension

• Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope

Impact on Life:

Chronic stress can lead to burnout, affect your physical health (e.g., heart disease, high blood pressure), and contribute to emotional problems like anxiety and depression. It can interfere with personal relationships and decrease overall life satisfaction.

Why It Happens:

Stress arises when the demands of life exceed your ability to cope. It may be triggered by work pressure, financial difficulties, relationship problems, or major life changes.

Why Seek Professional Help:

A therapist can help individuals identify sources of stress and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Professional support helps people learn how to manage their stress in a constructive way, improving both their mental and physical well-being.
