Stress


Stress can be caused by life events or by internal factors, such as thoughts and belief. When a person experiences stress, their body activates the "fight or flight" response, releasing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. This can lead to physical symptoms such as increased heart rate and muscle tension and emotional symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, and frustration. Stress may show by a person becoming less effective in coping with daily tasks or feeling easily overwhelmed by small events. Stress can affect a person's overall well-being, both physically and mentally. 

It's important to find ways to manage stress as chronic stress can lead to health problems. Psychology can help you find balance in your life, understand how stress responses are affecting you, and support you to problem solve effectively. Further, your psychologist will help you develop strategies to cope with the stress in your life so that you are less affected and more resilient to cope.
