Everyone needs a certain amount of stress or pressure to live well. Its what gets you out of bed in the morning and motivates you throughout the day. However, stress becomes problematic when theres too much or too little. Whilst a lack of stress means your body is under-stimulated, stress that is too intense or prolonged, causes your body to release stress hormones over a long period. This increases the risk of a range of physical health problems including headaches, stomach upsets and high blood pressure. It can even increase the risk of having a stroke or heart attack. More often, stress leads to psychological problems. It can make people feel distrust, anger, anxiety and fear, which in turn can destroy relationships at home and at work. Stress also plays a key role in the development of anxiety disorders and depression. Long-term stress can play havoc with your immune system, and a recent study suggests it raises the odds of developing viral infections.
