STRESS
Stress is the body's reaction to any
change that requires an adjustment
or response. The body reacts to
these changes with physical, mental,
and emotional responses. Stress is a
normal part of life. You can
experience stress from your
environment, your body, and your
thoughts
DEPRESSED
Depression (major depressive
disorder) is a common and serious
medical illness that negatively affects
how you feel, the way you think and
how you act. Fortunately, it is also
treatable. Depression causes feelings
of sadness and/or a loss of interest in
activities once enjoyed. It can lead to
a variety of emotional and physical
problems and can decrease a
person’s ability to function at work

feels that they are under too much
emotional or mental pressure and
that they can no longer cope. Many
demands throughout life can lead to
stress, such as work, school or
relationship problems. Everyone
experiences some level of stress in
their lifetime, but high-levels of
continual stress can lead to more
serious conditions while Depression
is an enduring mood disorder, and is
in fact the most common mood
disorder. All people experience

deep unhappiness that can last for
weeks, months or even longer.
