Stress affects everyone differently, but it’s generally understood as a physical, mental, or emotional strain. It’s a response to feeling anxious or threatened, and managing it involves learning healthy coping strategies and seeking support.

Long-term stress can lead to serious health problems like heart disease or stroke. It’s important to recognize when stress is beyond your control and focus on managing your reactions.
