4. Chronic Stress
Stress is something that everyone has from time to time. However, many people do not realize how much damage stress can cause to their bodies. When a person is under a lot of stress, it can cause many health issues. High amounts of stress can lead to heart disease, strokes, and even cause a heart attack. It is important to make sure that you are taking time for yourself and that you learn how to relax and remain calm during situations that make you tense. A person who has chronic stress may find that they are anxious all of the time and could become depressed all the time. Meditation for a few minutes a day can help calm you down. Seeking out therapy for ways to deal with chronic stress is also important. Chronic stress will also cause lower levels of serotonin to be released, which can cause the mood swings you are experiencing.
