Stress Index Test

Stress makes it difficult to relax and can cause a variety of emotions, including anxiety and irritability. When stressed, we may have difficulty concentrating. This test will help you determine if you're experiencing high, moderate, or low levels of stress, and assess whether you should prioritize your mental well-being.

How Does Stress Affect Our Health?

When we are stressed, our body releases stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones prepare the body for danger, but if released continuously, they can cause a variety of health problems, such as:

  • Sleep disturbances: stress can disrupt sleep patterns, making it difficult to fall asleep or waking up in the middle of the night.
  • Digestive problems: stress can cause digestive problems such as stomach ache, diarrhea, or constipation.
  • Headaches: stress can trigger or worsen headaches.
  • Fatigue: chronic stress can leave us feeling tired and lethargic.
  • Compromised immune system: stress can weaken the immune system, making us more susceptible to disease.

In addition to physical effects, stress can also affect our mental health. Some of the negative effects of stress on the mind include:

  • Anxiety: stress can increase anxiety, making us feel worried and restless.
  • Depression: chronic stress can trigger or worsen depression.
  • Difficulty concentrating: stress can make it difficult to focus and remember information.
  • Irritability: stress can make us more irritable and sensitive.
