In general terms, Stress refers to the experience of events that are perceived as threatening to one’s physical or psychological well-being. Challenges of life, interpersonal problems, and difficult social circumstances can all contribute to the feeling of stress. But all the stress is not bad. Some level of stress is good for an individual and may help in achieving peak performance and managing the minor crisis.
However, stress can become ‘distress’ when an individual faces continuous challenges without respite or relaxation and the manifestation of this stress can lead to the body’s wear and tear on the physical and psychological level.
Common symptoms of stress:
Low self-esteem
Lack of concentration and memory loss
Sexual difficulties
Weight loss or gain
Difficulties with sleep
Worry, anxiety, irritability and sadness
Extreme mood swings and emotional outbursts
Physical illness, e.g. stomach upset, headache, backache
Abuse of drugs and other substances
Poor long-term planning and decision making
Difficulties with eating
