not shocking news at all
In an article in the Arizona Republic recently, they discuss the emotional and mental health toll the worsening economy is having on Americans.
This does not seem like this should be surprising news.
Or maybe I am biased in that as a crisis counselor this was apparent in the first few weeks of the economic downturn. We are a society dependent on money and when there is no money, we are going to have more stress. People are losing jobs left and right, thus not able to pay for their cars, their homes, their kids education. You name it, the economy is effecting it. And yes, our stress level is increasing which in turn will lead to an increase in depression and physical health issues.
I can only hope that we start to see a leveling off and a light at the end of the tunnel.
