Stress & Anxiety

Key Symptoms: Tension, agitation, sleep disruption

Symptom Group(s): Mood & Sleep, Cognitive & Nervous System

Overview:
Chronic stress and anxiety activate the body’s stress response, increasing cortisol levels and leading to symptoms such as restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, poor sleep, digestive discomfort, and lowered immune function. While short-term stress can be adaptive, prolonged exposure negatively impacts both mental and physical health. Managing stress involves lifestyle adjustments, relaxation techniques, and nutritional support for nervous system balance.
