    GlossaryPerceived Stress

    feelings about how much stress one thinks they're experiencing

    Perceived stress refers to the feelings or thoughts an individual has about how much stress they are under at a given time. It is subjective and varies from person to person, depending on their coping mechanisms, personality, and life experiences. For professionals, understanding perceived stress is crucial because it can influence both mental and physical health, including conditions like alopecia, where stress is a known contributing factor.
