Understand Emotional Quotients

Your emotions are very important. It classifies and projects you. One of the major aspects, when we talk about emotions, is “sensitivity”. Being sensitive is a significant feature of your personality. Sensitive people experience a variety of emotions including the negative ones that may affect the quality of life. 

Women are considered stronger mentally and emotionally when compared to men. However, some emotions can get out of control and create difficulty to deal with, irrespective of gender. It may negatively impact not only mental but ultimately physical well-being too. Mental health has a deep connection with stress.

Stress is damaging

Both personal and professional lives are hectic these days and stress is nothing but a response to the many roles that women play simultaneously. Worry also creates stress.

Stress leads to the development of the hormone cortisol or in other words, “stress hormone” which creates a negative impact on mental health and can create hormonal imbalance in the body. It can cause many health problems in women such as

• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS),

• Polycystic ovarian disease syndrome (PCOS)

• Postpartum depression (PPD)

• Postmenopausal syndrome (PPD)

 All these health problems have one thing in common: “Mood Swings” and reproductive health of women.
