What causes stress?

Stress can be caused by a variety of factors, including work-related pressures, financial worries, relationship problems, health concerns, and unexpected life events.

Stress is a natural response to perceived threats, and can motivate people to take action to protect themselves.

However, when stress levels become too high or persistent, it can have negative effects on physical and mental health, including anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular disease.

Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, healthy eating, and social support can help reduce its negative effects.
