Nearly half of U.S. adults report concern about the stress in their lives, with work and money leading the list of major stressors. Stress is sometimes caused by traumatic events such as death, divorce, or mass disaster, but it often develops due to everyday frustrations with career, financial difficulties, technology, or caregiving. Stress impacts both physical and mental health by contributing to such problems as sleeplessness, reduced immunity, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. In severe cases, untreated or chronic stress may even lead to substance abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, or suicide.
