This year has been particularly hard financially and that can have a significant impact on a person's mental health. Stress and anxiety are common emotional responses to financial difficulties and these feelings can be intensified if the challenges are prolonged or severe. Many Kenyans are currently having to go through the burden of working for months with no pay, retrenchments are looming and businesses in most sectors are still slow.
Stress will automatically come because you cannot avoid worrying about how to pay bills and pay off debt while struggling to make ends meet. Your mind is constantly racing and you're living in a state of fear hoping the banks will understand. This leads to a host of physical and emotional symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and difficulty sleeping. In addition, stress can also cause feelings of anxiety and depression.
