Impact of Stress on Well-being

Stress has a significant impact on our mental and physical health. If left uncontrolled, it can bring about catastrophic consequences. When humans experience pressure, dissonance is created in the brain, which can be debilitating to our thinking ability. Gradual fluctuation affects our emotions and increases susceptibility.

Those who experience daily mental turmoil may suffer from long-term neurosis or anxiety. This not only affects the mind but also creates physical impediments that hinder normal life.

However, through introspection and being cognizant, we can mitigate these problems. If we can understand ourselves and make necessary changes, stress gradually becomes alleviated.

Therefore, stress is not just a predicament, but rather how it is dealt with determines an individual's overall well-being.
