Stress

We all have stress sometimes. For some people, it happens before having to speak in public. For other people, it might be before a first date. What causes stress for you may not be stressful for someone else.

Sometimes stress is helpful – it can encourage you to meet a deadline or get things done. But long-term stress can increase the risk of diseases like depression, heart disease and a variety of other problems. A stress-related illness called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after an event like physical or sexual assault.

If you have chronic stress, the best way to deal with it is to take care of the underlying problem. Counselling can help you find ways to relax and calm down. Medicines may also help. Talk to your GP or Pharmacist.
