What Causes Stress?

Stress is the body's reaction to changes when facing threats, pressure, or new situations.

This condition causes an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, faster breathing, and muscle tension.

Stress experienced by each person can vary. Risk factors that can cause stress include:

  • Disharmonious family
  • Traumatic events
  • Long-term (chronic) illness
  • Economic disparity
  • Unsafe environment, such as conflict areas
  • Workload
  • Bad events, such as divorce or layoffs

Stress is marked by physical, mental, and behavioral changes. The symptoms that appear when someone experiences stress can vary, depending on how they cope with it.

 

See a doctor immediately if you experience prolonged stress. Long-term stress can endanger mental and physical health.

You are advised to see a doctor if you experience stress and show behaviors such as:

  • Unable to control feelings of fear and panic
  • Unable to carry out daily activities
  • Always reminded of traumatic events
  • Frequently feeling dizzy or experiencing an increased heart rate
  • Often experiencing sleep disturbances
  • Having thoughts of suicide
