Stress 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 (呼吸的) system. It can lead to
asthma and cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important
carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches and
problems of 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
and 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(释放)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, our feelings and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest
for a while.
