In keeping with Women’s History Month, we are shining a spotlight on stress in women. Women are twice as stressed as men. Researchers at the University of Cambridge studied stress in Western women taking into account factors like gender, age, and medical conditions. The researchers found that over 4% of all adults are stressed and for every stressed man there are twice as many women who suffer.
Women experience unique reactions to stress and the signs and symptoms might look different then what you would typically think.
