DEAR FRIEND
My name is Faiez Kirsten. I am a medical doctor and my professional
life also involves the business world at various times. As a doctor I,
like many of my colleagues around the world, treat many patients who
suffer from illnesses which are caused by stress. In fact it has been
shown that most people who seek help from their doctor do so because
they are suffering from an emotional or physical ailment which was
brought on by stress. And in the business world I have seen the
DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS THAT STRESS HAS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF INDIVIDUALS
AND COMPANIES.
Unfortunately though
MANY PEOPLE DO NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS THE CASE
and therefore do not take the necessary steps to prevent their stress
from spiraling out of control and causing them some form of harm. And
in many cases quite serious harm. But even worse
UNTREATED STRESS CAUSES PEOPLE TO DIE!
So it is very important then to know exactly what stress is and what
it can do to you. And the stress we are talking about is 'CHRONIC' OR
'ON-GOING' STRESS. Short-lived stress or stress which lasts for less
than an hour or two is normal and part of our survival mechanism. For
example if you are hiking in the forest and you spot a grizzly bear
coming towards you, your most likely reaction would be to run as fast
as you can in the opposite direction until you are out of danger. You
would have done so because of the stress response which was triggered
by the sighting of the animal. Because short-lived stress helps to
keep us alive our bodies and minds have adapted to withstand this type
of stress and it causes us no harm.
The problem though, and I am sure your will agree, is that we live in
a world where we are constantly exposed, not to grizzly bears, but to
many things which we often think of as a threat to our well-being.
Although these threats may be real or just perceived as real, OUR
BRAIN AND BODY RESPONDS IN THE SAME WAY TO BOTH - BY TRIGGERING THE
STRESS RESPONSE IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE THREATS. And it is this
constant triggering of the of the stress response which is so
destructive to the brain and body since they are not designed to
withstand such persistent stress. The end result is that we suffer
from one or other EMOTIONAL OR PHYSICAL ILLNESS, or frequently, both.
But the scary thing is that many patients I have spoken to who were
suffering from a stress-related illness and who were told that their
sickness was due to their chronic stress
ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT CHRONIC STRESS IS NORMAL!
They often say something to the effect that 'I thought that being
stressed was normal' or would ask the question 'Is stress not normal
doctor?' This is just a sad reflection of today's world. A world which
provides us with stressful experiences so often that we have come to
believe that they are normal.
But chronic stress is of course NOT YOUR NORMAL OR NATURAL STATE OF
BEING because if it was you would want to experience its effects all
of the time. You would want to be in a state of sickness and misery as
often as possible because THIS would be your natural state of being.
And of course you would not pay good money for assistance to get into
a better, happier and healthier state of being - which is what most
sick people of course do.
Alright,
SO WHAT DOES STRESS _A__CTUALLY_ DO TO YOU?
Firstly, as I have said STRESS CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO DIE. This, I am
sure you will also agree, is its most devastating effect. And in many
cases these are people who have died prematurely. In other words they
would most probably have gone on to live long and productive lives had
it not been for the destructive stress which shortened their lifespans
so tragically.
Secondly, on-going STRESS CAUSES YOU TO GET OLD BEFORE YOUR TIME.
Chronological or calendar age is your age in time i.e. it is the
number of years you have lived or the period of time that has passed
from the day you were born to the present day. Real age on the other
hand is the ACTUAL BIOLOGICAL AGE of your body as measured by special
tests which scientists have developed based on their research into the
aging process.
Now you can of course be younger, older or at the same age as your
chronological age. In other words although your calendar age may
reflect the number of years that have passed since you were born, from
a biological point of view the state of your body may be the same as
that of a person of the same age as you or that of a younger or older
person. And people who are biologically younger or older than their
calendar age tend to look and feel the same - and often also behave
the same - as a younger or older person. So JUST BY ELIMINATING YOUR
PERSISTENT STRESS YOU WILL HAVE GONE A LONG WAY IN SLOWING DOWN YOUR
AGING PROCESS.
In my opinion though, ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC RESULTS OF ON-GOING
STRESS IS THE DAMAGE SUFFERED BY THE BRAIN. Now as you may know the
human brain consists of about 100 billion nerve cells or neurons (in
addition to supporting cells). As a result of certain chemical changes
associated with the stress response nerve cells in some parts of the
brain become damaged and die off. A part of the brain that is very
sensitive to these chemical changes is the hippocampus which is also
one of the few areas of the brain capable of producing new nerve
cells. The hippocampus is involved in the processing and storing of
new memories and is required for effective learning to take place.
It has been found that chronic stress not only damages and KILLS OFF
existing hippocampal nerve cells but also PREVENTS NEW ONES FROM BEING
FORMED in this region. This hinders communication between the nerve
cells and IMPAIRS MEMORY AND LEARNING. Stressed-out people thus often
have difficulty remembering things. And since they are forgetful and
have impaired learning processes, trying to learn new things or
acquire knowledge while they are stressed is therefore often found to
be an impossible task for them.
Stress also hinders the part of the brain which is responsible for
conscious thinking or rational thought and decision-making.
Chronically-stressed people therefore not only battle to learn and
remember but also generally struggle to think properly and make good
decisions. The sad truth is that
STRESS MAKES PEOPLE LESS INTELLIGENT
But even more concerning perhaps is that chronically-stressed people
whose hippocampal nerve cells have been damaged suffer EVEN MORE
DAMAGE to, and MORE DEATH of, these cells if they experience any
condition which affects the brain negatively. These brain-insulting
conditions include prolonged epileptic seizures, low blood sugar (or
hypoglycaemia as it is referred to medically) strokes, Alzheimers
Disease, AIDS and others.
Another common problem seen in chronically-stressed people is
DEPRESSION. This very common mood disorder is largely caused by the
negative impact that the chemical changes associated with stress has
on the brain. Depressed people, besides feeling deeply sad of course,
often have difficulty concentrating, become irritable and angry often
and sleep poorly - besides the many other symptoms they experience.
Now talking about depression, it is important to know about the
impact that stress has on something that most, if not all, people
would like to experience everyday, and that is..
HAPPINESS!
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRESS AND HAPPINESS?
Happiness is described and defined in many ways ranging from an
_'inner state of well-being' _to _'the meaning and purpose of life,
the whole aim and end of human existence'_. Happiness can of course
also simply be defined as the opposite of sadness or depression.
Whatever words are used to describe it most people would probably
agree that
HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF BEING WHICH INVOLVES
FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE WORLD
MOST OF THE TIME
Happy people generally feel continually positive and joyful and
rarely do they experience negative emotions. Negative emotions are
often referred to as '_BAGGAGE_' and are usually the result of
negative or traumatic experiences and memories, negative beliefs and
negative thoughts. Unhappy, disturbed or dysfunctional people are
frequently said to be _'carrying a lot of baggage'. _What this means
is that such MISERABLE PEOPLE FEEL WEIGHED DOWN OR BURDENED BY ALL
THEIR NEGATIVE FEELINGS OR EMOTIONS and usually see the world as a
difficult or harsh place to be in.
Since unhappiness is a miserable or unnatural state of being, most
people engage in activities which will create the necessary conditions
in which they will feel happier. Having a safe and comfortable home,
other material possessions and wealth or financial security for
example, are certainly conditions which add to one's happiness.
However
EVEN THESE CONDITIONS ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT
YOU FROM THE UNHAPPINESS AND MISERY BROUGHT
ON BY CHRONIC STRESS.
In fact it has been found that traumatic experiences such as abuse in
childhood prevent the stress response from being inhibited by those
parts of the brain responsible for this function. Such traumatic
experiences actually suppress the genes in these parts of the brain
from their normal function of limiting or stopping the stress
response. It has been found for example that such suppressed genes are
commonly found in the brains of unhappy, depressed people who have
committed suicide and were known to have had traumatic childhoods.
Such childhoods can therefore lead to a life of chronic stress
regardless of conditions or material possessions. Of course CHRONIC
STRESS RESULTING FROM ANY CAUSE, INCLUDING INHERITED NEGATIVE MEMORIES
AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES DURING ANYTIME OF A PERSON'S LIFE AND NOT
ONLY AN UNHAPPY CHILDHOOD WILL REDUCE THE FEELINGS OF SAFETY, COMFORT
AND SECURITY THAT WEALTH AND MATERIAL POSSESSIONS BRING.
Now stressful experiences also commonly CAUSE PEOPLE TO BECOME
ANXIOUS. And anxious people are unhappy people. As you may know
anxiety in its various forms, is an extremely common emotional
disorder suffered by many people around the world. And a large number
of them rely on very dangerous medications such as the
benzodiazepines. These dangerous drugs are not only harmful to you
because of their side effects but also have tragic habit-forming or
addictive properties. Anxiety-ridden people who are dependent on these
drugs often experience a difficult uphill battle when they try to stop
using them.
It has also been found that LONELY PEOPLE OFTEN SUFFER FROM STRESS
and sadly, frequently become depressed because of it. And such lonely
and depressed people are often more prone to infection and sickness
due to their weakened immune systems.
I could of course go on and on describing to you the many other
stress-related conditions which make people miserable and unhappy,
conditions such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder or Obsessive -
Compulsive Disorder for example. Many of the more common ones are
described in the program anyway. The point is that there is sufficient
evidence which shows that stress and happiness have an 'opposite'
relationship. In other words
STRESS - FILLED PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY PEOPLE
So, sadly, as you have seen, stress causes people much harm and
misery. This is not surprising, since it is responsible for up to
ninety-five percent of the illnesses that afflict human beings, as I
have mentioned. And since we humans are made up of trillions of cells,
stress inevitably has an effect on us at the level of our cells.
Amongst others, these effects include the following:
O STRESS MAKES OUR WOUNDS TAKE MUCH LONGER TO HEAL
O STRESS MAKES US MORE VULNERABLE TO DEVELOPING AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASES
O STRESS WEAKENS OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND MAKES US MORE PRONE TO CANCERS
AND INFECTIONS
O STRESS IMPAIRS THE ABILITY OF OUR CELLS (BOTH BRAIN AND BODY CELLS)
TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
OK, we have seen that stress makes you sick and unhappy. But not only
that,
STRESS ALSO MAKES YOU FINANCIALLY POORER!
STRESS TAKES MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET
When you are stressed and become ill because of it, you of course
need to pay your doctor or other healthcare provider for his or her
services in assisting you to get out of this unhappy state. And you
either pay your doctor directly in cash or via your health insurance
company or medical aid. However, regardless of how you pay...
YOU LOSE MONEY EACH TIME YOU GET SICK
This is money which could have been put to better use. And the more
often you get ill, the more money it costs you to get well of course
UNTIL YOU REACH A POINT WHERE YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY ANY MORE - or your
insurance company or medical aid informs you that your funds have
dried up. Many chronically-stressed people are, unfortunately,
all-too-familiar with this scenario.
And if this scenario was not bad enough, worse still is the fact that
THE COST OF HEALTHCARE HAS BEEN SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL FOR MANY
YEARS now, making healthcare unaffordable for more and more people -
even those not suffering from chronic stress!
So sickness is not only a miserable and unpleasant experience but it
also costs A LOT of money to get out of this UNNATURAL STATE OF BEING.
The reality is in fact that BILLIONS of rands in South Africa and
TRILLIONS of dollars in the USA, for example, are spent EACH YEAR on
assisting MILLIONS of sick people in these countries to get back into
a healthy state of being. The same situation applies to many other
countries around the world of course.
Here are some of the shocking amounts of money spent on healthcare:
R125 BILLION in South Africa (2005)
US$ 1, 99 TRILLION - or an estimated $6,697 for each US citizen
(2005)
US$ 4.1 TRILLION globally! (2004)
But
STRESS AND ILLNESS NOT ONLY MAKES PEOPLE POORER,
IT ALSO ROBS THEM OF THEIR TIME.
STRESS ALSO TAKES TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY - AND MAKES YOU LESS
PRODUCTIVE
Stressed and ill people often take time off from work to rest and
recuperate and therefore often have a worse absenteeism record than
healthier people. Because of their frequent bouts of illness they also
tend to achieve less or are less productive than healthier people.
Time that is spent in a state of stress and illness could, like your
money, be put to better use I am sure will agree.
