Stress is a form of emotional and physical tension that can affect anyone due to any reason. It is your body’s reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress could be beneficial in terms of challenging you to work better and increase your productivity, avoiding danger or meeting a deadline. But when it lasts for a long time, stress could turn into depression and it is very harmful to your health.

What are some common causes of stress?

Stress is a natural response to challenging situations, and it can be helpful in small doses. It can energise you and make you feel more switched on and able to deal with tricky situations. However, too much stress over a long period of time can be hard to deal with.

Some of the more common things that tend to stress people out are:

• Relationship issues, including family, friends, boyfriends or girlfriends
• Deadlines, whether school, work or uni
• Living in a difficult circumstance with family or flatmates
• Financial stress (especially if you live out of home)
• Unrealistic expectations of yourself or others
• Taking on too much at one time.
