Learning to identify the signs and symptoms of stress and the situations that cause them can be very beneficial. Early detection can help to prevent more serious illnesses that can occur as a result of untreated or unresolved stressors. When these symptoms persist, your risk for serious health problems significantly increases as a result of a direct link (as with depression) or from an exhausted immune system.
