In March, singer Ho Quang Hieu shared about the past 2 years, he lost fire with music. The troubles, stress at work, family relationships, conflicts in the society… once made the vocalist “Spring Butterfly” want to let go of everything. Prolonged stress has caused the male singer to fall into depression.
According to Doctor Nguyen Viet Chung, Department of Mental Health Hospital E, human life cannot be without stress. If stress is at the right level for each individual, it will create positive energy, but too much stress in both intensity and duration can have a negative impact on life.
Stress is a double-edged sword. If stress is at the right level, it will help people to be more alert, more focused, more energetic, happier, more positive – more creative.
On the contrary, if stress is too much, it affects health and causes problems not only mental disorders but also other bodily problems such as cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, bone and joint functions. In fact, Dr. Chung has encountered a number of cases where the work pressure was so high that they had to use psychostimulants to complete the deadline assigned by their superiors.
Stress can lead to mental disorders, illustration.
After a prolonged use of psychostimulants, the patient appeared paranoia, anxiety, depression and had to intervene in treatment.
Dr. Chung added: “There is no universal safe threshold of stress for everyone. Because each person has a different tolerance to stress. When excessive stress becomes negative when one of the following signs appears,“:
Stress makes you feel tired, less creative at work.
Having sleep problems such as: difficulty falling asleep, not sleeping well, recurring nightmares.
Having problems controlling emotions: easily sad, irritable, quickly frustrated.
The patient will have physical symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath; had symptoms of cardiovascular, headache, gastrointestinal – colon but went to the doctor without lesions commensurate with the symptom level.
“If you encounter one of the above signs, it shows that stress is beyond the body’s tolerance. When stress exceeds the normal tolerance threshold, there will be two trends: the tendency to negate, the tendency to avoid, but few people. choose a positive approach like acceptance”, Dr. Chung said.
As for the tendency to deny, people will deny stress and not find a solution. For example, insomnia will find sleeping pills, alcohol to relieve stress …
The next trend is that people don’t find ways to face it, but instead avoid it. For example, there are people who are tired of stress because of work, they quit to find another job. But when they have a new job they are still stressed. The cause here is that the root has not been processed. Or maybe they will experience unpleasant, painful physical symptoms related to stress.
Dr. Chung said that the best way to deal with stress is to see a specialist to handle it. In case you don’t want to go to an expert, you need to sit down to work with stress:
– Firstly, you need to determine if you are under stress and how it affects your work life;
– Second, must know the cause of stress;
– Third, to cope with stress better, physical health must be better;
Fourth, if you do all the other things, but stress still affects your life, you need to see a doctor.
For example, if stress is caused by too much work, it is necessary to talk to your superiors and colleagues to get support and have appropriate solutions.
Dr. Chung warned, stress can cause mental disorders: anxiety disorders, depressive disorders… There are cases where stress also causes problems with substance abuse.
