Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old female. I feel stressed after traveling for long hours for my studies every day. What are the potential effects of chronic stress, and how can managing stress contribute to overall health and well-being? What are some healthy coping mechanisms for stress? Are there relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, or exercises that you recommend? How can I maintain a healthy studies-life balance to minimize stress? Are there strategies for setting boundaries and managing time effectively? When is it advisable to seek professional assistance for stress management? What types of therapies are available for individuals dealing with persistent stress? Please help.
Thank you.
