Stress is a natural response in the body, but it can become a health epidemic when it is experienced in excess. Studies have shown that both children and adults experience stress from factors such as studying, poverty, competitions, economic crises, and disease outbreaks. In the 21st century, stress has become a major issue, impacting people of all ages and backgrounds. Recent research shows that middle-aged Americans are experiencing more stress now than they did in the 1990s. The pandemic has exacerbated stress, particularly for lower-income individuals. This has led to an increase in physical conditions such as back pain, susceptibility to viruses, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune disease. A Gallup poll has revealed that 40% of adults have reported feeling sadder and more stressed this year compared to previous years.
