Stress & Anxiety

Everyone experiences stress and anxiety at one time or another.
The difference between stress and anxiety is:
- stress is a response to something external
-anxiety is a person’s reaction to stress

When a person regularly feels elevated levels of stress and/or anxiety, this may become a medical disorder.
