There is no single definition for stress, but the most common explanation is physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.

While not all stress is bad, long-term stress can have harmful impacts on physical and mental health.

Dr. Marius Commodore, with Nurx, says it’s important to recognize quickly if your stress is a real problem or just the blues.

Commodore says data is showing stress and depression has increased a fair amount during the pandemic.

He says it’s important to know when to seek help – starting with when you become unable to do the basic functions of your day.
