Workplace Stress and Anxiety Disorders

You are in a panic state when you are ready to go to work in the morning. The business day is an infinite minefield in your opinion. On the night after work, you want to sleep soon, please do not get up. So, you are under pressure, its reasons - your professional activities. People in the workplace are often undergoing psychological pressure. Working with clients, secretaries, salespeople, teachers, and people who do almost everything as a "risk group" supervisor and manager - the cause of stress.

Work stress can be the most common industrial health problem in today's workplace. There are many emotional and behavioral outcomes and symptoms of work stress, including depression and anxiety. These psychiatric disorders are usually categorized under the category of "psychiatric disorders", but they are no longer recognized when the proposed reporting guidelines are issued. A national health interview survey in 1985 (Shilling & Brackbill, 1987) showed that about 11 million workers reported the level of "mental stress" threatening health at the workplace. With the increasing number of literature on occupational stresses, it has been found that certain work and organization characteristics have a detrimental effect on workers 'mental and physical health, including workers' mental health .

In my opinion, it is mental health that is more important than physical health. The prevalence of anxiety, depression and other psychiatric disorders is a record high. Especially in workplace environments with high pressure and high tempo (such as work in the technology industry), high average wages will not help people's mental health problems. Regardless of salary, stress is stress. Bradfeld has already commented on this issue, and more importantly, more leaders will do the same. Through my coaching practice, I broke IT during my career and had a conversation with some experts who worked in a highly desirable high salary job. But, spiritually, they are deeply suffering. For these customers, in addition to the counseling work we did together, I also encourage them to seek professional counseling treatment (they will do this)
