What are the effects of stress?

Stress is a state or mental health condition where there is tension or worry caused by a difficult situation. People with this condition develop symptoms like suicidal tendencies, repeated nightmares, anxiety, and depression disorders, substance abuse, avoiding social life, sleeplessness, and negative thoughts about themselves and the world. Stress and anxiety have been known to release certain chemicals in regions of the brain that are more prone to seizures. Stress is also the main cause of the loosening of the teeth due to the clenching or grinding of the tooth during stress. In such cases, strong emotional support and good counseling will help them recover from stress. The treatment for this condition mainly lies in psychotherapy and counseling. Behavioral therapy and cognitive and exposure therapy also play a major role. In severe cases, medicines like antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs can be used. Strong emotional support helps in a quick recovery. Stress levels can be managed through regular exercise, yoga, and?meditation.
