Brexit Stress a novel solution.
The number of EU citizens turning to therapy to cope with their stress and anxiety over Brexit is increasing, a mental health expert has stated.
Emmy van Deurzen, a psychotherapy professor said that “Almost every EU citizen in the UK has been affected by Brexit to some extent. Some people are just feeling out of sorts, but there are some people who feel they can’t stay here any more and some who just can’t cope who have anxiety, insomnia, are getting panic attacks, feelings of paranoia and suicide ideation [suicidal thoughts],” she said.
Clearly stress is a major factor in mental health problems including anxiety and depression. It is also linked to physical health problems like heart disease, problems with our immune system, insomnia and digestive problems. Individually we need to understand what is causing us personal stress and learn what steps we can take to reduce it for ourselves and those around us.
