What causes stress?
It’s entirely normal to feel stress from time to time. Stress is your body’s natural response to any sort of demand or change.
Starting a new job, welcoming a new baby, and taking an exam are just some of the common stressful events men and women experience.
Some stress is even good and keeps you motivated, as with stress during a workout. But stress shouldn’t last for weeks or months on end. If stress is starting to change the way you think and act to the point where your job and family life are affected, it is time to seek help.
How do I know if I have stress?
The highly skilled mental health professionals at The Healing Centre encourage you to come in for an evaluation if stress takes over your life.
It’s important to seek medical attention for stress if:
-You feel irritable, have mood swings, or can’t concentrate
-You’re starting to have frequent headaches
-You’re binge eating or skipping meals
-You’re gaining or losing weight
-You can’t fall or stay asleep
-You’re sleeping too much
-You have chronic fatigue
If left untreated, stress can start impacting your health and increasing your risk of coronary artery disease, depression, weight gain, and other serious ailments.
