Stress is a normal part of life—but when it becomes chronic, it can affect your neurological health.

How Stress Affects the Brain

  • Hormonal Changes: High cortisol damages memory and learning centers.

  • Increased Headaches: Stress is a leading migraine trigger.

  • Sleep Problems: Stress often leads to insomnia, which further harms brain health.

Strategies for Managing Stress

  • Exercise regularly to release endorphins

  • Practice relaxation techniques (deep breathing, yoga, mindfulness)

  • Prioritize sleep

  • Stay connected with supportive friends and family

  • Seek medical guidance if stress is overwhelming or causing symptoms
