Description
Although individual physical and emotional reactions to stress vary, the results are similar. A stress overload activates areas of your brain that then send involuntary impulses to organs elsewhere in your body. This page provides patient information on stress and how it affects you; as well as links to other related topics, including physical symptoms, changing behavior, strategies for improving emotional health, and more.
