Effects of Stress

Stress differs for each of us. We respond to stress
differently. There are numerous physical as well as
emotional responses as illustrated by our list of 50
common signs and symptoms of stress.

What is Stress?

There is no definition of stress that everyone
agrees on, what is stressful for one person may be
pleasurable or have little effect on others. We all
react to stress differently.

Workplace Stress

Numerous surveys and studies confirm that
occupational pressures and fears are far and away
the leading source of stress for American adults and
that these have steadily increased over the past few decades.

America's # 1
Health Problem

Contemporary stress tends to be more pervasive, persistent
and insidious because it stems primarily from psychological
rather than from physical threats. It is associated with ingrained
and immediate reactions over which we have no control that were
originally designed to be beneficial.

Stress Management

There is no stress reduction strategy that is a panacea.
The key to reducing stress is to prevent it. Getting enough
sleep, a proper diet, avoiding excess caffeine and other
stimulants and taking time out to relax may be
helpful in this regard.
