Stress
The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified stress as the “health epidemic of the 21st century.”
Stress results from an unexpected event (an external agent) that, in some way, escapes our control. This external event, subjecting us to a continuous state of pressure, leads to emotional and physical disturbances. Despite its emotional origin, stress, as an external factor, directly impacts both physical and mental health, significantly diminishing an individual’s quality of life.
Due to the continuous advancement of technology and the highly competitive nature of the professional world today, it’s clear that work has become a constant presence in people’s lives. Thanks to laptops, mobile phones, and tablets, tasks can be completed anywhere and at any time.
Professional stress, also known as ‘burnout,’ is a common issue in various job fields. Many professionals now face excessive workloads and responsibilities, often working under constant work-related pressure.
Symptoms
Since each of us deals with stress differently, the symptoms also vary from person to person. Here are some examples:
- Body aches and muscle tension
- Changes in appetite (either not eating enough or overeating)
- Stomach problems like diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and headaches
