International Stress Awareness Week
3rd- 6th November
This is an annual campaign organised by the International Stress Management Association (ISMAUK). It is to raise awareness about stress and its impact on mental and physical health. This week is to encourage people to have open conversations about stress and mental health and the importance of managing stress.
Stress can cause many different symptoms and it is not always easy to recognise them. Physical symptoms often include headaches or dizziness, muscle tension or pain, stomach problems, chest pain or elevated heart rate, and sexual problems.
Mental health symptoms can include difficulty concentrating, struggling to make decisions, feeling overwhelmed, constantly worrying and being forgetful.
There are many organisations that can offer help such as Mind. For more information
