Chronic Stress Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Frequently Ill
Our mental well being has a considerable impact on our overall health, including the health of our immune systems. With a weakened immune system, we are more likely to fall ill, meaning that people with chronic stress are likely to fall ill more frequently than others.
Studies have shown that stressed people are more likely to catch diseases like the flu. In addition to being more likely to catch a disease, people with stress are also more likely to suffer worse symptoms, and for longer. Bear in mind also that stress can lead to a loss in appetite, and not eating enough can also impact the immune system.
