Why Is Managing Stress Important For Mental Health

Managing stress is important for many reasons. Stress over long periods of time can increase someone’s risk of other mental health conditions. If we can manage our stress levels, we can increase our emotional stability, regulate our mood and other discomforts like irritability, agitation and relationship tension.

 Getting support to manage stress can improve your general cognitive functions. This is due to prolonged stress can affect your memory recall, decision-making and concentration. Leading to an increase in day-to-day function at work and at home.

 As we know, how body and mind are interconnected. Reduce stress promotes physical health in a magnitude of ways. Therefore, if one accesses support for managing their stress levels, they intern are reducing the risk of burnout and illness by prioritising their general self-care.

How Does Stress Affect Our Bodies and Minds?

Our Bodies

Stress triggers the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare the body for a "fight or flight" response. This can lead to many changes in our vital functions like heart rate, blood pressure, hypervigilance etc. Over time, prolonged stress can contribute to illness and health conditions that compromised you daily life functions and overall health.

Our Minds

Stress can lead to many uncomfortable experiences and symptoms. Some can feel heightened anxiety, irritability, poor concentration, fatigue etc. Prolonged stress is a risk factor for the development of mental health conditions but most importantly can affect your daily life experience and relationships to self and others.
