1. There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This

1. expression refers to a feeling of panic or stress, that makes a person want to stop

1. whatever they are doing, try to relax and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or

1. tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too

1. much stress results in physical, emotional and mental health problems.

1. There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can

1. increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure.

1. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to

1. breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the

1. stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few

1. examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.

1. Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel

1. anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are

1. under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle

1. parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice.

1. Stress can make people angry, moody or nervous.

1. Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an

1. extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and

1. increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of

1. alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are

1. sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to

1. continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.

1. It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the
