Stress

Stress is a physical, mental, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension. Stresses can be external (from the environment, psychological, or social situations) or internal (illness or from a medical procedure). Stress can initiate the 'fight or flight' response, a complex reaction of neurologic, and endocrinologic systems.

Stress can cause or influence the course of many medical conditions including psychological conditions called anxiety. Medical problems can include poor healing, irritable bowel syndrome, high blood pressure, poorly controlled diabetes, and many other conditions. Stress management is recognized as an effective treatment modality to include pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic components.

Depression

Depression, otherwise known as the major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a common and serious mood disorder. Those who suffer from the depression experience persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness and lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. Aside from the emotional problems caused by depression, individuals can also present with a physical symptom such as chronic pain or digestive issues.
