When stress persists, individuals may experience cognitive effects that can impair their mental functioning. Mental overload is a common consequence of prolonged stress, leading to a decline in the ability to make rational and sound decisions. Faulty decision-making in personal life, career, or workplace situations can result in conflicts, failures, financial losses, or even job loss. Stress can also negatively impact cognitive abilities, such as poor concentration and reduced short-term memory capacity. |
