How do you think stress effects the body? How about it's effects on us psychologically? Stress is what many doctors call the silent killer. We can not always see stress the same way we see other problems, but the signs and symptoms are present just the same.

High levels of stress can cause all types of physical problems, most notably a compromised immune system, chronic fatigue syndrome, ulcers, heart disease, even diabetes. On a emotional level, stress tends to create two major problems mentally, notably, depression and forms of anxiety.

How does one determine if there is too much stress in our life? Most physicians will view a patient with stress management problems if their stress has a high intensity, is felt frequently and last too long and is present more days than not. Does this sound like you?

What exactly is stress? Stress is the human response to demands in our life called "stressors". A stressor is a demand placed on the body when a requirement is made of you and you then respond to it. Some people respond in a healthy way to stressors, while others respond in a unhealthy way. The greater your resources for dealing with stress the greatly your ability to cope with it.

While stress isn't always a bad thing (it can sometimes be a motivator), untreated stress can erode our life by hurting us both emotionally and physically.

One of the most productive ways to learn how to deal with stress is by taking a quality anger management class or even an effective online anger management class. These programs teach skills in stress management and educate the customer on more healthy ways of dealing with stress.
