Study Notes
Emotional distress refers to feelings of severe anxiety, fear, sadness, or stress that can overwhelm a person's ability to cope with everyday life. It is often associated with mental disorders such as depression or anxiety but can also arise from traumatic events or situations where someone feels their safety, health, or relationships are threatened. Emotional distress can lead to physical symptoms like headaches or gastrointestinal problems, and if left untreated, it can have serious effects on all aspects of one's life including school, work, social interactions, and emotional wellbeing. Treatment options typically involve therapy, medication, support groups, and self-care strategies.
