Africa-Press – Malawi. Malawians are being stressed up because of the challenges they are going through today due to poor economic policies under President Lazarus Chakwera’s Tonse Alliance government.
Whether living in urban, suburban, or rural settings, people are facing the reality of economic downturns: being laid off, being unable to find a job, having difficulty supporting a family, or seeing the closing of community organizations or local services on which they depend.
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body’s reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline.
There are many signs of stress. These effects might include: Difficulty breathing. Panic attacks. Blurred eyesight or sore eyes. Sleep problems. Fatigue. Muscle aches and headaches. Chest pains and high blood pressure. Indigestion or heartburn.
Stress is caused by: Being bullied. Working too hard. Losing a job. Marriage or relationship problems. Recent break up or divorce. Death in the family. Difficulty in school. Family problems..
Research suggests that economic hardship may affect child development via disrupted family processes including marital distress. Economic hardship increases risk for behavior problems, mental disorders, and physical health problems and thus represents a significant public health concern.
Hardships can also be caused by a lack of employment opportunities, unstable employment or “precarious work”, and much more. But perhaps most of all the root cause of economic hardship is scarcity.
