Stress (medicine)

Stress is a feeling that we have when we feel like we have too much to do and too little time. Sometimes stress can make us feel scared, anxious, or overwhelmed. In medicine, doctors treat stress with different kinds of therapy and medicines. Therapy can help us learn how to cope better with the things that are making us feel stressed, while medicines can help make the stress go away more quickly.
