Please continue reading to find out about the warning signs and how to seek help to break away from the cycle of abuse.

A study from the American Psychological Association in 2011 showed that currently, adults in America are more stressed than ever before. Typically, these stressors stem from financial insecurity, issues in the workplace, personal health, the economy and family responsibilities. However, 2020 has unfortunately introduced a number of additional reasons that one might find themselves more stressed out than usual. The current global pandemic, political turmoil in America that has seen protests and violence and environmental factors impeding on day to day activities such as wildfires and hurricanes, has caused an already stressed society to suffer even more. If you are a parent or student, you can add the back to school season as an additional reason you might feel more stressed out than normal.
