Stress

One of the most usual yet deadliest enemies we face in this modern, trying world is STRESS. And I have to stress that out because it is often ignored, yet it can really damage your health and your life. It can finally contribute to depression.

Probably the leading type of stress is job stress or work-related stress. It is not unusual for workers to be grumpy on Monday and cheerful on Friday night. Work-related stress has been the root of a number of ailments such as extreme fatigue, headaches, anxiety, nervousness, respiratory illnesses, muscle ache, back pain, ulcers, insomnia, hypertension, high blood pressure, depression of course, and even obesity! If you've been so busy with your work and you haven't got the time to take a short break, you'll have tendency to pig out on dinner or midnight snacks. And of course, job instability can lead to depression.

Other factors that lead to stress are relationship problems, health problems, and financial problems. Things like a contention with your sister, not being able to clear your debts on time, supporting a family on a meager income, having an terminal disease, can definitely bring about depression. Even positive events such as obtaining a job advancement or having increased job responsibilities, getting married, or getting pregnant can also lead to tension, and depression.
