    STRESS AND DISEASE
    STRESS

    Stress is your body's way of responding to any


    kind of demand or threat. When you feel
    threatened, your nervous system responds by
    releasing a flood of stress hormones, including
    adrenaline, Serotonin, Dopamine and cortisol
    among others, which arouses the body for
    emergency action.
    STRESS RELATED DISEASES

    • Heart Diseases
    • Obesity
    • Diabetes
    • Headaches and Migraines
    • Depression and Anxiety
    • GIT problems e.g. Ulcers, GERD, IBS
    • Asthmatic attacks
    • Accelerated ageing
    27
    Epidemic:

    A disease or condition which is highly prevalent


    in a community or large geographical area.
    • “Depression has today
    become a common
    phenomenon and it affects
    persons from all walks of
    life and ages. I urge
    employers and institutions
    of learning to invest more
    time and resources in
    monitoring and facilitating
    the mental well-being of
    their charges. “
    Why discuss stress and disease?
    • WHO 2017 report ranked depression as one of
    the leading causes of suicide.
    • The same report ranked Kenya as the 6th in
    Africa in terms of prevalence of depression.
    • Suicide is the second leading cause of death
    among the youth. However, there is under
    reporting of cases due to stigma, which is the
    same reason why people are not seeking help
    when they are depressed.
