Mental wellness & psychological counseling

Women today are exposed to more stress than before as they have to play multi-roles in family and at work. It is no doubt that they will overlook their physiological limitation until health problems occur. Brief stress exposure can be tolerated but overstress is hazardous to health. One of the very serious health risks is that depression may decrease bone mineral density and increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Causes of Depression

Stress may come from both good and bad changes in your daily life, e.g. job promotion, childbearing, new home; conflicts, illness, emotional disturbances, environmental changes, financial burden, etc. If the cause of stress is not managed properly and exists over a long period of time, you will become overstress and may be exposed to health problems. For example, heart diseases, gastrointestinal illness or even mental disorders, sometimes the individual may be addicted to alcohol, caffeine or other drugs. In fact, many health problems are stress-related or induced.

When we encounter stress, our body will respond by releasing hormones that stimulate our nervous system for any corresponding reaction. Symptoms of overstress are:

• Insomnia
• Headache
• Muscular and shoulder tension & pain
• Nervous and anxious
• Depressed with negative thinking
• Dizziness
• Disorder in digestive system, e.g. appetite changes
• Uncontrollable temper
• Chest tightness as if you cannot breath
• Persistent fatigue
