Pressure and stress is the common cold of the psyche.

Summary

This quote suggests that pressure and stress are commonplace and pervasive issues that impact the mind and mental well-being much like the common cold affects the body. It implies that just as one can catch a cold from the environment, pressure and stress can be easily acquired from the challenges and demands of life. Like a common cold, pressure and stress are seen as bothersome, burdensome, and prevalent, suggesting that they are commonly experienced in daily life and have the potential to negatively impact one's mental health.
