Research Brief
The subject of stress has become a
favorite subject of everyday
conversation. It is not unusual to hear
friends, coworkers, family members, and
ourselves, talk about the difficulty we
have with managing the stress of
everyday living. We talk about being
burned out, overwhelmed and "losing it."
We also hear and talk about our efforts
to control the events that cause stress,
and most of us understand the results of
not controlling our reactions to stress.
It is well understood that stress may
lead to cardiovascular risk. But most of
us are unaware of the many other
emotional, cognitive and physical
consequences of unmanaged stress. Stress
is expensive. We all pay a stress tax
whether we know it or not. Currently,
health care costs account for
approximately 12 percent of the gross
domestic product, escalating yearly. In
terms of lost hours due to absenteeism,
reduced productivity, and workers'
compensation benefits, stress costs
American industry more than $300 billion
annually, or $7,500 per worker per year.
Chronic stress destroys bodies, minds
and lives. It wreaks havoc through
long-term attrition. It's the stress of
poverty, of dysfunctional families, of
being trapped in an unhappy marriage or
in a despised job or career. Chronic
stress comes when a person never sees a
way out of a miserable situation. It's
the stress of unrelenting demands and
pressures for seemingly interminable
periods of time. With no hope, the
individual gives up searching for
solutions. A view of the world, or a
belief system, is created that causes
unending stress for the individual
(e.g., the world is a threatening place,
people will find out you are a
pretender, you must be perfect at all
times). When personality or deep-seated
convictions and beliefs must be
reformulated, recovery requires active
self-examination, often with
professional help. Chronic stress may be
dangerous. People wear down to a final,
fatal breakdown. Because physical and
mental resources are depleted through
long-term attrition, the symptoms of
chronic stress are difficult to treat
and may require extended medical as well
as behavioral treatment and stress
management.
