Why is chronic stress harmful?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Chronic Stress
"Short-term stress can motivate people to meet deadlines or complete tasks, but long-term stress increases the risk of depression, heart disease, and other problems. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a stress-related illness that can follow war, assault, abuse, or disaster. Counseling, relaxation strategies, and sometimes medication can help address chronic stress and its underlying causes."
