Difference between Worry, Stress & Anxiety

  1. Worry is the cognitive component of anxiety. It happens only in your mind, not in your body. 
  2. Stress is a physiological response connected to an external event. It is a reaction to environmental changes or forces that exceed our resources.
  3. Anxiety is the culmination of stress and worry. It has both - a cognitive element (worry) and physiological response (stress).
