Stress Impact on Health

This world is highly equipped by those people who are highly victimized by a disease known as stress. Stress is a state of mental and emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances. In simple words, stress is caused by certain circumstances that happen unexpectedly or that you don’t want to happen. For example, if a student is preparing for an exam, but he finds his subject difficult, he starts worrying about how he would prepare, how would he pass that subject etc. This worrying causes stress and he then becomes unable to study.

Stress has many impacts. Stress can impact us emotionally, mentally and physically as well. Stress also plays a major role in affecting our health.

Stress affects our body, our behavior, and our mood. The common symptoms of stress on our body are sleeping problems, stomach pain, headache, and laziness. The symptoms of stress on our behavior are angriness, fighting without any reason, shouting, use of tobacco or drugs and overeating and under eating. Similarly, symptoms of stress on our mood are depression, anxiety, dullness, sadness, and irritability.

1. Stress impacts on body:-

                      The impact of stress on our body is quite common. Stress can easily be noticed. The person who is in any kind of stress is most likely to sleep for too long or to not sleep at all. He might find it difficult to sleep and he passes his whole night by changing sides only. He might feel some kind of light stomach pain and headache that will be with him for long. No medicine would affect him then. He might also feel laziness in his movements. He might not want to do any kind of work. That’s because he is tightly tied with the chains of stress. There are many other impacts as well but the most common are the ones that I mentioned. But remember the reason behind all of them is not always stress. Sometimes that person might feel those things.

2. Stress Impacts on Behavior:-

                      A person who is under stress can have an unusual behavior. He will, without any reason, shout, becomes angry on little things, will fight with his dear ones and others will scold his family members, will use tobacco and drugs (if he is already using, he will use more) and will either eat more or less than usual. These are the common symptoms of stress affecting behavior. If noticed, he should be asked by his dear ones with sympathy if he is in any kind of trouble or what. If you react harshly on his actions chances are he might overdo his actions and becomes more and more stressed.

3. Stress Impacts on Mood:-

                       The mood of the person can be seen and noticed easily. If his mood is good, he is alright, but if his mood is not good, he is under stress. He might be the victim of depression, anxiety, his smile will be lost for a long time, his face becomes dull, his sadness can be seen and he will be seen irritated. Again he should be taken care, should be shown sympathy and should be motivated. Otherwise, he can harm himself as well under deep stress.

These are the three impacts that can be caused by stress. Under some rare occasions, people also commit suicides when they just give up and don’t have the power to bear more stress. So it is extremely important to take care of those people who are in stress. They might share their stress with their dear ones and this action of them can somewhat relieve them. Do show sympathy to those and take care of those people. Otherwise, they might be the victims of something greater than stress.
