Reasons why men suffer from mental illness due to work pressure
Due to work addiction
The normal working time of an average person is 8-10 hours, and that is the appropriate load for human health. If you work more than 12 hours a day for a long time, it will cause stress to the body, creating a great burden on the endurance of both the body and the mind.
Excessive greed
If you desire money, wealth... too much, greed will make your brain nerves uncomfortable, you will be stressed for a long time, your heart and brain will not function normally because they will have to speed up, leading to the heart rate not working in harmony with normal physiological functions, thereby damaging the brain.
Not used to high work pressure
Because your personality and the way your job works do not match, too much work while your ability to withstand pressure is not high will cause stress.
Being in a competitive atmosphere for a long time will make your psychology extremely tense, depressed and disappointed, leading to an unstable emotional state with ups and downs.
When you can't handle the pressure of this mental overload, you often lose control of yourself and gradually lose self-control.
Family Crisis
The work environment, social environment, value trade-offs, and emotional orientations among family members can all mask and cause family crises.
Even if there is no reason for conflict, stress can come to you through your family. This leaves many men in a situation where they are unhappy, dissatisfied, and sometimes restless and distracted all day.
Disease attack
Illness attacks can easily make patients depressed and lose confidence in life. The pressure of illness comes from the fear of losing a healthy body and losing confidence in the ability to recover.
What are the most common illnesses among men in the workplace?
Drinking too much alcohol damages internal organs
According to the results of a health check on 100,000 men, the rate of fatty liver disease is 22.28%. Digging deeper, the main reason is that men often have the habit of gathering to drink beer and alcohol for "entertainment" because of work.
Some men are often stressed, overworked, causing fatigue, anxiety, pressure, difficulty sleeping and more or less suffering from digestive diseases. If you constantly go out for “social dinners”, eat an unbalanced diet, have irregular activities, poor immune function, etc., these are also the main causes of increased blood lipids and increased uric acid in the blood, easily causing obesity, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and other dangerous diseases.
Closed work environment becomes a new potential danger to men's health
Uncomfortable working environments and overly rigid management can also directly lead to poor health. Common illnesses such as irrational anger, irritability, lack of energy, tinnitus, eye pain, slow thinking, loss of sexual desire, etc. are all risks of occupational diseases today.
In case of prolonged stress, you should reduce your workload, change bad habits, supplement with suitable foods such as oysters, deep sea fish, vitamin C, and importantly, get enough sleep. In more severe cases, you need intervention from relevant medical professionals.
