Anxiety vs Stress: FAQs
What is stress?
Stress is how we react when we feel under pressure or threatened. It usually happens when we are in a situation that we don't feel we can manage or control. Some examples of this include difficult situations at work, or family-related pressures.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a more chronic condition, and in some cases is Anxiety Disorder, a mental health condition. It is extremely common, and has symptoms that are very similar to general stress. If you have an anxiety disorder, you may respond to certain things and situations with fear and dread.
How are they similar?
Anxiety and stress share a lot of symptoms. Some that you may notice are:
Overthinking
Feeling nervousness and stressed
Palpitations
Poor sleep
Change in appetite
Being easily fatigued
Having unexplained body pain
Difficulty concentrating
How are they different?
Stress is a feeling that is caused by some external pressure (like work or family issues), that goes away when the issue goes away. It is temporary and the cause is often clear. Stress is a normal human experience that informs us that an issue we face is of significance.
Anxiety, on the other hand, can persist for a very long time, and it is often difficult to identify the cause. Anxiety is a more chronic condition, and people who have it can benefit from psychotherapy, learning coping mechanisms, and in some cases, taking appropriate medication.
“Stress is short-lived and goes away when the issue is resolved. Anxiety is long-term, and there is often no direct trigger.”
