Workplace Issues and Job Stress

Pronounced stress at work can cause mental health issues including anxiety, depression and irritability, which can in turn impact marital, family and social relationships. Job stress can also have physical manifestations, including raised blood pressure, sleeping problems, stiffness, muscle tension and headaches. Workplace stress can also lead to substance abuse. Counseling can help you deal with job-related stress by identifying ways to reduce it such as problem-solving, planning before stressful situations, learning from mistakes and focusing on positive things.
