Stress Management and Mental Health

Stress is the body's natural response to pressure and worry. When we face a problem, a lot of responsibility, or fear of the future, our body and mind go into a state of alert. To some extent, stress can be beneficial and make us active to do things, but when it becomes excessive and persistent, it harms mental health. Continuous stress can cause anxiety, insomnia, mental fatigue, and even physical problems such as headaches and stomachaches. When our minds are full of worries, we lose focus, get angry easily, and even our relationships with others deteriorate. Too much stress is like a burden that, if carried for a long time, can wear us down.
