Stress

One thing that everyone of us has experienced, whether for just an hour or a day, or even prolonged periods, is stress. This is a reaction in our minds and bodies to things that are challenging to deal with. Stress can be normal, sometimes even helpful to avoid danger. However, when stress becomes prolonged or it starts to cause significant distress, it can affect our mental or physical health.

Prevention
