Recognizing discomfort and distress
Dr. Callie Cyrus, a psychiatrist, explains that discomfort and distress are different levels of discomfort. Extreme discomfort can lead to distress, which is harmful to our bodies. Prolonged distress can cause negative effects such as high blood pressure, hormone imbalances, and chronic fatigue. Mitigating distress involves recognizing when we are in a state of discomfort and taking steps to change the situation.
