“The holidays can be a wonderful time for many people, but they can also bring about pressure, stress and anxiety,” said Dena Cabrera, staff psychologist at Remuda Ranch Programs for Eating and Anxiety Disorders.
“Many news outlets have reported the recession is over, but people across the country (the US) may not be feeling the reprieve.
They hear one thing, but their bank account says something different,” added Cabrera.
People with stress can experience sleep disturbances, headaches, muscle tension, stomach problems and fatigue.
Additionally, people who experience anxiety can experience excessive worrying, to the point where it interferes with daily life. They may also engage in unhealthy behaviours such as substance abuse, overeating and mood changes, says a Remuda release.
