Stress is Bad for Your Health: Crash Course Public Health #5

Our identities, societies, and health are all mixed together in cool, weird, and often deeply unfair ways. One of the big factors that comes out of that mix is stress. Stress impacts our health in a number of ways. In this episode of Crash Course Public Health, we’re going to go beyond the basics and look at the ways society affects our stress, which in turn impacts our health.

[canaisyoung]

I already know stress is bad for my health. I'm currently grappling with high blood pressure (and I am improving, thank God).

[joyceestefanyvejerano]

Stressing because stress is bad for me but I'm always stressed

[ahmadganteng]

As a paramedic, this series is just like advance lesson of my previous education.
Bravo..
Thanks Vanessa

I always think CrashCourse's lectures are the easiest to understand and most of all, diverse, so I think they are the best to study knowledge that I don't know. Thank you so much!

[isabelayala]

I think this is a sign. I’ve been talking about seeing my dr to figure out how to manage my stress. I’ve been stressing for the most basic things since I was little and I think I finally need to confront the issue instead of just dealing with it.

Well now I'm stressed about being stressed

This video perfectly summarizes my research and practice interests! I’m so glad this information is available outside of taking a college course. Thank you Crash Course! I’ll be sending people this video when they ask about professional interests lol.

Different people experience varying amount of stresses throughout their lives, and they have even more diverse ways of dealing with them (denial and overstimulation of senses being the two most popularly known.) Stress is a very primitive mechanism of the body to deal with the kind of life-or-dewath situations early humans faced quite often back in the day, but unfortunately it did not evolve the way our problems did. In my opinion, chronic stress should often be regarded as metastatic, because it kills you on the inside bit by bit while you experience every bit of the agony.

Thank you Crash Course once again for delivering such amazing high quality content! Your channel has been a lifesaver for me, and I continue recommending it to as many people as I can! You guys rock! 🤩👍🏻

If your stuck somewhere you don't want to be and you bin there so long time has lost all meaning you can help but feel stressed no amount of breathing exercises is going to help. It feels like I am drowning I look at my options I see no good ones

[hopefulbloom]

OH MY GOSH, BRAINCRAFT YES. THIS SERIES IS LOVELY, THANKQ

[benl]

Great now I'm stressed about being stressed

[GalactusOG]

Prepper channels have the grossest titles and topics. All they do is stress people out.
Prepper channel: *BREAKING! Doomsday is here! This changes everything! Society collapsing today!*

[nightshadowsstudios]

[thefourthdymensionmusic]

imma be 100% with every single person on this giant green earth we live on. (or blue, if you wanna look at it that way) the title of this video is so important, especially right now in the midst of all of the bullcrap we see going on with society, our government, and the corruption that exists in everyone's day to day life.

[NYCeesFinest]

Certain individuals try to stress me out at work, at home, or in public and I just walk away from them. No amount of money, time, or co-existence is worth my health..

[williambilyeu]

Whenever I feel stressed I have found that screaming is a great relief.

[corgi]

Actually, the first thing I think of when I hear resource is YOU REQUIRE MORE VESPHENE GAS
