Stress holds sway on working professionals, retired individuals, healthy and non- healthy persons, housewives, adolescents and even children.
Students
Stiff competition in the educational field and high expectations in the job market are the prime reasons for stress among students. Competition among fellow students, and constant pressure from parents and peers, result in stress soaring among the adolescent and young adults.
Housewives
Modern day women are expected to juggle their tasks, as a result of escalating expectations placed on their ‘weak’ shoulders.
They mould themselves to fit into various social niches-that of wives, mothers, sisters, daughters-in-law, professionals, and active members of the society. This multi-tasking sometimes ‘wear them thin’ and they begin to buckle under the mounting pressure.
Professionals
Today stress can be directly attributed to the present day working scenario. With a booming economy beaming the
‘job - for - all’ slogan, IT companies are mushrooming across the world. Demanding deadlines sleep deprivation and exhaustion being hallmarks of this profession, all is not well with these ‘harbingers of prosperity’.
