While some stress is normal, persistent stress is associated with weariness. Indeed, persistent stress can result in stress-related exhaustion disorder (ED), a medical condition defined by psychological and physical weariness symptoms. Furthermore, prolonged stress can produce structural and functional changes in the brain, as well as chronic inflammation, which can contribute to symptoms such as weariness. While you may be unable to avoid stressful events, particularly those related to job or family responsibilities, regulating your stress may help you avoid weariness. You can, for example, schedule time to unwind by taking a bath, meditating, or going for a stroll. A therapist can also assist you in developing stress-reduction measures. Many health insurance policies provide coverage for mental health counseling, and virtual therapy is also available.
