Some stress is normal, but chronic stress has serious physical and psychological consequences, and is manageable with the right approach.
What is Stress?
Stress is the body's response to demands that exceed current coping resources. Short-term stress can be adaptive; chronic stress is not. It contributes to anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction. Therapy and lifestyle change together are most effective.
