The Very, Very Common Symptoms Of Stress

Anxiety And Depression

You know what to expect. Men, anxiety and depression are huge signs of stress too! They're very, very common. So common. They happen in both chronic and short-term stress! Men, a huge reason is oxidative stress. That's when your body can't protect itself thanks to too many free radicals and not enough antioxidants. Men, mental stress is a common trigger for oxidative stress in your brain. It's so very common! This is a big reason for anxiety and depression because of general stress.

Men, you know that stress means your body makes lots and lots of cortisol. That's another trigger for oxidative stress, resulting in depression and anxiety. But hold your horses, because that's not all. Cortisol also means you're going to see your serotonin levels go down. Yes, your serotonin will go way, way down. This is the happy hormone. A lack of it is one of the most common causes of anxiety and depression!
