Stress is a natural phenomenon that helps us address the challenges and alerts us for a potential threat. It is a feeling of mental tension or worry in the presence of a difficult situation. Each one of us experiences stress to some extent and our inbuilt capacity to handle the stress or resilience to face difficulties determines how much stress would impact one’s mental state and health.
One may experience stress mentally, emotionally or physically. For example symptoms like restlessness, reduced productivity and concentration, emotional overwhelm, feeling of tiredness, frequent aches and pains especially headaches and backaches, indigestion, constipation or diarrhea etc., to name a few. Any or all of them could be present in different degrees in each individual.
