Stress is normal as well; in fact, stress can be good, because it is necessary in order to keep you motivated, alert, and prepared for danger. It’s no secret that stress and depression are linked. Likewise, the mind and body are linked – if one is affected by something, the other will often be as well. Stay stressed too long and you can develop a condition known as distress, which disturbs the internal equilibrium of your body. Your mental problems will start to manifest themselves physically.

- Emotional Problems
