| Stress doesn't rise or diminish over our lifetime, it simply changes in its causes and its nature. We can't stress-proof our life, unfortunately, but we can learn how to deal with it in the best way possible. We asked the experts how to cope with the pressures brought on by being in your teens to your seventies and beyond.
Teens and twenties
"At this age, the uncertainty of establishing who you are as an adult can be a trigger for stress," says Dr Chetna Kang, a consultant psychiatrist at the Nightingale Hospital in London. "It could be finishing your education, entering the workplace, finding somewhere to live, financial pressures or fitting in socially."
"A lot is changing," agrees Ekta Mansukhani, a cognitive behavioural therapist at Nuffield Health, who adds that this doesn't mean you should avoid things you find stressful. "We can never get rid of anxiety, we can only manage it. Avoidance – whether it's a work meeting or a party – often only makes you feel worse."
