Doctors say that long-term stress can have a negative impact on both mental and physical health, as happened with a Pune employee due to work-related stress. Currently, due to the changing work culture, working hours have increased significantly, due to which the risk of stress has increased significantly. Office work pressure affects physical and mental health in many ways. Let's know how-

Effects on mental health

Work pressure can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, burnout and sleep disturbances. It affects focus, decision making and work performance. Being under stress for a long time also increases the risk of many mental health problems , as it makes you emotionally weak, due to which you start feeling lonely and weak.

Effect on physical health

Stress triggers the body's "fight or flight" response, which releases cortisol and other chemicals. This can lead to weakened immunity, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Additionally, prolonged stress can cause headaches, muscle tension, and digestive problems .

How to deal with work pressure

• To prevent burnout, set your working hours. Disconnect and relax after work.
• Focus on important tasks and avoid taking on more work than you can handle.
• To reduce anxiety and increase focus, you can take the help of deep breathing exercises and meditation.
• Exercise increases mood-enhancing compounds such as endorphins and reduces stress hormones.
