Physical and mental stress can turn life into a real struggle...
- It makes it harder to fall asleep (insomnia)
- It causes headaches and sweating
- It has many negative effects on overall healthNow, anxiety and depression also make for a lot of physical and mental tension and so does worrying about one's fears and problems.
