Societal Stressors

Societal stressors are factors within a community or society that cause stress and pressure on individuals or groups. These include economic hardship, inequality, social unrest, violence, discrimination, and rapid changes like technology or policies. Such stressors can impact mental and physical health, influence behavior, and affect overall well-being by creating a sense of instability, fear, or uncertainty. Recognizing societal stressors helps understand how broader social issues can influence personal experiences and community resilience.
