Stress
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Stress is the natural response of the body and mind to situations that we perceive as demanding or threatening. In specific doses it is adaptive, but when it becomes intense or constant it can affect health.
Frequent symptoms: muscle tension, headaches, sleep problems, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and, at times, digestive or skin complaints.
When to see a doctor? If the stress is prolonged, interferes with daily life, or is accompanied by persistent physical symptoms, it is a good idea to seek guidance.
Which specialist treats it? The psychologist and the psychoanalyst help work on the causes and the tools for managing it, while a general practitioner can assess the physical manifestations. Relying on a professional makes it easier to find strategies suited to each person.
