stress-related disorders

Stress-related disorders are conditions caused or worsened by prolonged or intense stress, affecting your mental and physical health. Common examples include anxiety disorders, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These conditions can lead to symptoms like constant worry, mood changes, fatigue, sleep problems, or physical issues such as headaches or stomachaches. They result from your body's response to stressors that feel overwhelming or persistent, disrupting normal functioning. Treatment often involves therapy, coping strategies, and sometimes medication, helping individuals manage stress, restore balance, and improve overall well-being.
