SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) — KSLA is committed to bringing attention to mental health awareness. And today we are talking about the effects of mental stress on your body.

Mental health plays a part in how our bodies respond to trauma or cope with a rough season.

And when our mental health suffers, it can take a toll on our bodies physically.

On Wednesday (May 3), KSLA spoke with licensed counselor Olivia Ferguson, M.S., PLPC, NCC, to explain how our bodies process stress and to talk more about this topic.
