Mental health experts are addressing the psychological and physiological impacts of stress and relationship crises. In Spain, specialists at El Taller Emocional have observed an increase in relationship conflicts during summer months, driven by disrupted routines and intensified coexistence. Experts note that certain conflict-resolution methods may inadvertently reinforce negative patterns.

In Argentina, clinical psychologists are highlighting the physical risks associated with stress. Dr. Susana Amodeo Escribano of the Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz explains that stress arises when perceived threats exceed an individual’s coping capacity. Acute stress can lead to gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, and blood pressure fluctuations, while chronic stress may cause damage to the cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as cognitive functions.
