Can external forces cause facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

Recently, the operations of my company haven't been going well, and I've been under a lot of pressure. Sometimes, I still feel quite overwhelmed, so I wanted to ask if stress can lead to facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Work pressure and mood have always failed to be relieved, and the stress caused by this is quite significant. High stress is a common cause of facial paralysis in women. In today's society, women also independently bear pressure from work, family, and personal aspects, especially those in high positions and high-paying jobs. Excessive pressure can lead to prolonged fatigue, gradually triggering brain edema and facial nerve dysfunction, ultimately resulting in facial paralysis.
