And many people dealing with stress believe they have some other condition. The issue with this is that their stress goes unaddressed and continues to cause other health issues. Some signs of stress include, headaches, depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, and even digestive problems.

What Causes Stress?

• Emotional Almost all of us have dealt with emotional stress at some point in our lives, usually caused by adverse events, worries about our jobs and finances, our family life, and fear of the current state of the world.
• Physical: Physical stress can lead to injuries, illness, dietary issues, being over-worked, and lack of rest. Pain can also be a result of physical stress and the emotional stress we experience.
