A small amount of stress is normal and usually unavoidable. Daily life and regular stressors can increase the amount of stress we feel. On the other hand, stress can become severe, and its side effects can mimic the way that depression looks. Stress often leads to depression as well. Learning how to manage stress and depression is vital to living a happy, healthy life.
Managing Your Stress
Stress is triggered by something that happens in your life that puts too much mental or emotional pressure on you. Stress can be caused by a number of things, such as work, relationships, finances, and more. A little bit of stress is normal and can encourage us to get important things done. However, when stress goes unmanaged, it can become a chronic disorder, and it can lead to other things, such as depression. Our licensed counselor will help you identify stressors in your life and discuss methods of managing and mitigating these stressors.
Dealing With Depression
