Stress-Induced Disorders

Stress-induced disorders are mental health conditions triggered or worsened by intense or prolonged stress. They can include anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms like headaches and fatigue. These disorders develop when the body's stress response remains active or is repeatedly triggered, affecting mood, thoughts, and physical health. They are diagnosed based on symptoms and the relationship to stressful events or ongoing stressors. Treatment often involves therapy, stress management techniques, and sometimes medication. Recognizing and addressing stress early can help prevent these disorders from becoming severe, supporting better mental and physical well-being.
