The Difference between Stress and Anxiety.

We frequently use the terms "stress" and "anxiety" interchangeably when referring to the range of feelings we experience every day. The two, however, are actually different.

"We all experience stress on a regular basis and we all deal with it in our daily lives. It's how we feel when a deadline is approaching or when we're getting ready for a significant occasion or event "According to Dr. Sawal.

Although the sensation of stress may be unpleasant, it has certain immediate advantages. Stress causes physiological changes in the body, such as heightened concentration and quicker reaction times, that can help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

Dr. Sawal explains that anxiety is when stress or concern becomes excessive or pervasive enough to significantly impact your daily life and your capacity to handle normal pressures. "Anxiety can affect anyone, just like stress can. However, unlike stress, anxiety has no benefits."

In fact, Dr. Sawal explains, if anxiety is not treated, it can affect not just your daily life but also your general health and well-being.
