Stress and anxiety are typical parts of life. In fact, moderate levels of stress can be beneficial to those who have learned to manage it. However, a person’s physical and mental health can be at risk when stress levels persist over a period of time.

If stress and anxiety are not managed properly, they can prevent students from achieving their academic and career goals, as well as social development.
