I started with Chris Mosunic, clinical psychologist and Calm’s chief clinical officer, who begins by providing the voice of doom I was hoping not to encounter. “Stress can lead to heightened feelings of anxiety, depression, and make someone have difficult concentrating. Is isn’t just a mental or emotional experience as it can manifest physically through symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, stomach aches, fatigue, and difficult sleeping,” adding, damningly, “it can also worsen existing health conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.”
