The Short and Long Term Effects of Anxiety

By Douglas Neutrino Xavier


People are being affected by many emotional and physical problems due to the stress they are under. If you are getting too many illnesses, or you see yourself aging to quickly, researchers have learned that it is most likely the result of too much stress in your life. This article will help you understand the issue better, by looking at some of the usual effects of stress.

Stress that may not seem serious at first, if ignored, can become long term and lead to dangerous consequences. Some people who experience stress for long periods of time have feelings of burnout, constant anxiety, depression or panic attacks. Such problems can often be avoided if you pay attention to early warnings of stress, which may not seem that serious at first. If stress is something you regularly experience, even if it seems like you can cope with it, you should take a close look at it and see what measures you can take to reduce it. If you deal with stressful situations as they arise, however, you can usually prevent them from mushrooming into long term issues.

It may be hard to believe, but stress has actually been linked to skin problems like psoriasis, acne, eczema and hives. Recent research shows that stress can contribute to skin ailments, hair loss and related issues. Stress affects the hormone levels in our bodies, and if these are out of balance, certain areas can become inflamed. If you already have a skin problem, stress can make it worse, causing more pimples, rashes or blisters to break out. Going to a dermatologist can help you to treat your skin condition, but it's best to also address the underlying problem, which may be stress. Stress may also be a contributing factor with gray hair and hair loss. This is especially likely if you're losing a lot of hair, or its turning gray all of a sudden, though you should also look for possible medical reasons.

All people respond to stress differently, and that is what makes it interesting. Some people will become stimulated by a distressing situation, while others will not be affected at all, where a third person will become completely stressed out. Additionally, one person may feel stressed out for a few minutes and then forget about it, while someone else may carry it around for days. This is a key to understanding how to cope better with stress. Events that cause stress don't have to change for you to be less stressed out, but your response will need to change. What makes stress such a bad thing, is not that stressful situations happen, but what the reaction people have to them.

The more people become educated about stress, the longer the list of unhealthy conditions that it causes are becoming known. It seems obvious that stress has long-term effects on health, but the seriousness of stress is not agreed upon by all doctors or scientists. Stress and relaxation don't seem to go together, so why not find ways to relax, rather than stress out. Getting rid of stress will not only give you better health, but also longer life.

Many people understand that performing paperwork may cause a great deal of anxiety. In today's hectic atmosphere, it's not hard to get behind. Being not too proficient at typing can make it even more difficult. Why not consider benefiting from speech recognition computer software?
