Mauro Libi Crestani: The alarming increase of job stress

By Mauro Libi Crestani. Every day we are seeing an increase in stress levels. Physical and mental health of employees is extremely important for companies.  Actions are needed to reduce the anxiety of staff who feel affected by the pressures.

Definitely stress has become one of the evils of the century and while not considered a disease, its consequences can affect the health of the person.

Many studies have concluded that a stressed or depressed person has a better chance of getting a disease because their immune system is weakened. Depressed mood and stress down the body's defenses and the person who has it becomes weak.

There are two types of stress experts say: The so-called acute stress is a response to an imminent danger, loading the system with powerful hormones that can damage the cardiovascular system immediately.

Chronic stress caused by intense emotional pressure, the victim can not control, produces hormones that can depress the immune system and damage the bone.

This increases the risk of muscle skeletal injuries, some loss of bone mass, damage to the cardiovascular system causing damage to the arteries, removal of reproductive system and memory problems.

Physical symptoms can include headache, back pain, fatigue, sweating, gastritis, depression, anxiety, insomnia, indigestion, skin disorders, sexual dysfunction, increased heart rate, diarrhea or constipation, etc. Among the sociological symptoms can be observed when a person forgets everything, you feel tired, altered, relationships with other people begin to fail, it fights with everyone.

When a person is faced with a stressful situation sleep it is the first thing that is lost (insomnia), has nightmares, increased appetite or else you are not hungry.

A person exposed to constant stress situations have much chance of developing high blood pressure problems. 

People suffering from chronic stress should see a doctor for treatment, meanwhile you should start activities such as meditation, relaxation exercises and yoga to achieve symptom relief steadily.


When employees suffer from stress, the company has problems and low productivity. It's time to address the problem. By Mauro Libi Crestani
