Topic > Deaths due to stress - 967

Deaths due to stress 110 million people die every year due to a stress-related illness or stress itself. Stress is usually a “normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or [that] upset your balance. (“Symptoms, signs and causes of stress”). But too much stress causes stress-related diseases. To further prevent this, teenagers should be more sociable and adults should also be more helpful and understanding. If stress gets out of hand, 7 parts of your body can be affected, including the heart, brain, nerves, and reproductive system. To get sick with a stress-related illness, like insomnia, your immune molecules must first be affected. From now on, “the brain changes its functions… [and] induces a… set of behaviors that we all call illness behavior” (“Stress and Disease on MedicneNet.com.”). The diseased behavior causes humans to lose all desire in daily activities, such as eating, sleeping and moving. The loss of these desires can later lead to anxiety, depression and thinning bones at an early age. If you don't move or eat due to stress, your bones will weaken due to a lack of vitamins. However, anxiety, depression and thinning bones are not the only effects. There is also death, an example: insomnia. Insomnia is a very serious disease that makes it difficult for a person to fall asleep and leads to early rising 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 Illnesses”). One of the causes of this disease is a combination of stress and depression. Problems that cause death range from antisociality to lack of sleep. Normally, when you're antisocial, you isolate everyone. You put your… in the center of the paper… and it led to a life-threatening illness. Although anyone can die from a stress-related illness, we can all take helpful actions towards others and help the person overcome depression and anxiety caused by stress. I personally believe that adults should be a help in the world. Not just adults though, teenagers should also take care of each other. Instead of bullying a classmate, the "bully" should become the protagonist and help him understand the lesson of the day. But there is a limit: if a teenager doesn't want you to help him, then don't! They know what they want for themselves. The responsibility lies not only with adults and other adolescents, but also with themselves. Schools should improve and teach their children how to deal with stress, manage their time and perform under pressure. To decrease the number of deaths caused by stress, society must learn to help, not judge.
