What is Stress?
Stress is a natural response to demands or pressures, such as work deadlines, family responsibilities, or health concerns. In small amounts, it can be motivating — but chronic stress can lead to anxiety, burnout, sleep problems, or physical symptoms. Recognising and managing stress early can help prevent long-term issues.


What Are the Symptoms of a Stress?
Symptoms vary but often include:
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in appetite or digestion
Fast heartbeat or chest tightness
Feeling overwhelmed or irritable
Low mood, anxiety, or burnout
Muscle tension or headaches
Trouble sleeping or feeling constantly tired
