How stress impacts mental health?

I am just starting to realize how my college exams make me feel so low and anxious. Does long-term stress actually lead to depression? I want to understand how to handle this before it gets worse.

I totally relate to this; office pressure used to make me feel so overwhelmed that I couldn't sleep. Stress builds up slowly and starts affecting your self-confidence and mood. Journaling and setting boundaries at work really helped me cope.

Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which can mess up your digestion and mental focus. Eating a clean, gut-friendly vegetarian diet rich in leafy greens and seeds can actually help stabilize your mood. Food plays a huge role in mental wellness.

Constant worry can slowly break down your emotional strength and peace of mind. Please take some time off for yourself, speak to someone you trust, and don't hesitate to seek professional help if it gets too heavy.

Jyada chinta karne se dimaag thak jata hai aur kisi kaam mein mann nahi lagta. Humare yahan toh log shaam ko sath baithkar baatein karte hain, usse mann halka ho jata hai. Jyada bojh mat lijiye dimaag par.
