Understanding Stress: Benefits, Concerns, and Coping Strategies

Stress is a universal experience, ranging from everyday issues like running late to major life changes such as job loss or relocation. When stress levels rise, we may notice symptoms like a fast heartbeat, pounding heart, and excessive sweating.
