Identifying stress and anxiety amid Russia, Ukraine war and how to cope
Fox News
Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, people across the world may be struggling with heightened levels of stress.
According to California-based health psychologist Dr. Laurel Mellin, it's important to recognize that there are different types of stress: high-stress and low-stress – both of which you should handle in particular ways.
For example, mindfulness and cognitive thinking can help people to cope in low-stress situations, but won't be effective in high-stress situations. In these scenarios, the flight-or-fight response can kick in and people stop thinking clearly and their emotions can turn toxic.
