What Is Chronic Stress?
8. What Are the Treatment Options for Chronic Stress?
The first step to dealing with chronic stress effectively is recognizing it as a problem. One of the main reasons stress gets out of control is because people assume it’s a normal part of life that will eventually go away on its own. Chronic issues often require professional intervention, though.
Your psychologist may try cognitive behavioral therapy. This is a common treatment method for anxiety and may also be helpful in moderating stress responses. It involves learning to recognize triggers and making a plan for responding to them in an effective and productive way.
