Managing Financial Stress

Financial stress—worry about money, debt, job security, or meeting basic needs—is a significant source of anxiety for many people. Chronic financial stress can affect sleep, relationships, physical health, and overall mental well-being. It can also trigger or worsen conditions like anxiety and depression.
