Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are common responses to life’s challenges and pressures. Stress arises from perceived threats or demands, while anxiety involves excessive worry about the future. Both can significantly impact mental and physical well-being. Symptoms include irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and physical tension.

Chronic or overwhelming stress and anxiety can have negative consequences, such as reduced productivity, strained relationships, and compromised health. Effective stress management and anxiety-reducing strategies are essential. These may include relaxation techniques, regular exercise, a healthy lifestyle, social support, and healthy coping mechanisms.

Therapy or counselling can provide valuable tools and support for managing stress and anxiety. Taking steps to address these challenges improves overall well-being, builds resilience, and fosters a sense of calm and balance in life.
