How lifestyle fuels an epidemic of mental health illnesses
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|January 28, 2025
The relationship between 'lifestyle characteristics' that are typically linked to physical and mental health and psychological well-being is gaining more attention nowadays.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy lifestyle is a way of living that minimizes the chance of being seriously ill or dying early. Though biological reasons and genetic predispositions are important in mental health, some aspects of modern lifestyle make the issue worse and contribute to an 'epidemic' of mental illness.
How we work, talk, eat, and sleep, are contributing to the alarming rise in mental health issues. A stressful work environment characterized by long hours, high expectations, and the pressure to meet deadlines, leads to chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, etc. over time, blurring work-life balance.
