Stress Intolerance

Stress intolerance is a term used to describe difficulty coping with physical, emotional, mental, or environmental stressors. While stress intolerance is not a specific medical diagnosis, it is a recognized symptom pattern that may occur in association with chronic stress, burnout, anxiety disorders, depression, chronic illness, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic pain conditions, and other health concerns. Individuals with stress intolerance may experience heightened physical or emotional reactions to situations that previously felt manageable.¹²
