Essay / Deaths due to stress - 967
Deaths due to stress110 million people die each year due to a stress-related illness or stress itself. Stress is generally a “normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or disrupt your balance.” (“Symptoms, signs and causes of stress.”). But too much stress causes stress-related illnesses. To further prevent this, adolescents should be more social and adults should also be more helpful and understanding. If your stress gets out of control, 7 parts of your body can be affected, including your heart, brain, nerves and reproductive system. To get a stress-related illness – such as insomnia – your immune molecules must first be affected. Now, “the brain changes its functions…[and] induces a…set of behaviors that we all call illness behaviors” (“Stress and Illness on MedicneNet.com.”). Illness-related behaviors cause humans to lose all desire to perform daily activities, such as eating, sleeping, and moving. Losing these desires can lead to later anxiety, depression, and thinning bones at an early age. If you don't move or eat because of stress, your bones become weak due to a lack of vitamins. However, anxiety, depression and thinning bones are not the only effects. There is also death – one example: insomnia. Insomnia is a very serious condition that makes it difficult to fall asleep, leading to early awakening in older people. In 2013, “a large study published in the European Heart Journal… [that] linked… insomnia and heart failure” (“7 Types of Stress-Related Diseases.”). One of the causes of this disease is a combination of stress and depression. The problems that cause death range from antisociality to insomnia. Normally, when you are antisocial, you isolate everyone. You have put your ...... middle of paper ...... a lead to a life-threatening illness. Although anyone can die from a stress-related illness, we can all do helpful things to help others overcome depression and anxiety caused by stress. Personally, I think adults should be a help in the world. But adults aren't the only ones who need to look out for each other. Instead of bullying a classmate, the “bully” should become a protagonist and help them understand the lesson of the day. But there is a limit: if a teenager doesn't want you to help them, then don't do it! They know what they want for themselves. This is not only the responsibility of adults and other adolescents, but also that of themselves. Schools should improve and teach their children how to deal with stress, manage their time and struggle under pressure. To reduce the number of deaths caused by stress, society must learn to help, not judge.
