Stress and Anxiety: What Is the Difference?
Stress is a reaction to pressure or a demand, and it usually eases when the situation passes. Anxiety is a persistent feeling of worry or fear that can continue without a clear cause and can bring a racing heart, restlessness, tense muscles, poor sleep and trouble concentrating. Lifestyle, caffeine, sleep, health conditions and life events all play a part.
When to See a Doctor
See a doctor if worry is constant or hard to control, if it affects work, relationships or sleep, if you have panic attacks, or if you feel low or hopeless. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, seek help immediately by contacting emergency services or a crisis line, or go to the nearest hospital. Anxiety is common and treatable.
What Supplements Can and Cannot Do
Nutrients such as magnesium support normal nervous system and psychological function, and some herbs are used traditionally for relaxation. Supplements cannot treat an anxiety disorder or replace talking therapy or prescribed treatment.
Precautions and Interactions
