    The Effects of Stress

    here 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.
