Answer:

Stress has a direct impact on our mood. When we're struggling with stress, we're more likely to become moody, and withdrawn when stress becomes a persistent issue and something that feels beyond our control, that's when it can start to affect our mental health and lead to depression.

stress causes a person to sleep less, not eat as often, and a drop in dopamine, which are some of the symptoms in anxiety and depression

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress, either physiological or biological, is a humans (or any organism really) response to something called a stressor. Stress is the body's method of reacting to a condition such as a threat, or physical and psychological barrier
