Stress effects refer to the physical, emotional, and psychological responses that occur in individuals when they are exposed to stressors, or events that disrupt their normal functioning or equilibrium. Research in this area explores how stress can impact various aspects of an individual's life, such as their health, relationships, cognition, and behavior. Common effects of stress include heightened levels of anxiety, irritability, and fatigue, as well as physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, and digestive issues. Chronic stress has been linked to a range of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, weakened immune system, and mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. Researchers also investigate how individual differences, such as personality traits, coping strategies, and social support, can influence how individuals respond to stress. Understanding the mechanisms underlying stress effects can help inform the development of interventions and strategies to better manage stress and mitigate its negative impact on overall well-being.
