The Effects of Stress

There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers
to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to
relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common
causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and
mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse
rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory
system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of
important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems
digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms
resulting from stress.

Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They
may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often
overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may
yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.

Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other
addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If
stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.

It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated,
it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being
of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
