WHAT STRESS IS...
Stress is an abnormal condition that disrupts the normal
functions of the body or mind. No two people are affected in
exactly the same way, or to the same degree, but most people
living in our highly industrialized society suffer from its
effects at one or more times during their lives. Symptoms range
from mind headaches, occasional bouts of insomnia, overall
restlessness, digestive problems, irritable bowel syndrome,
constipation and diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
