How do I treat financial stress?

This issue will not resolve on its own. You can seek online therapy and make a plan to battle your financial troubles. This plan could include going to the debt collector and asking for more time, talking to a financial consultant, getting a second job, or practicing mindfulness.

How does it affect my body?

Any prolonged stress can manifest itself through physical symptoms such as anxiety, migraines, weak immune systems, digestive troubles, high blood pressure, muscle tension, heart arrhythmia, depression, and feeling overwhelmed. If you are experiencing such symptoms and are struggling with finances, you may need help.

It is quite common, especially in families with low incomes. This number only increased during the pandemic. A group of researchers from IIT Allahbad surveyed the effects of the covid lockdown imposed in India in terms of finance. According to the results, nearly 40% of respondents were facing stress managing finances.

Will I need medicine to treat my stress?

If you have mild to moderate symptoms, then counseling should be enough. Your doctor or psychiatrist may prescribe drugs to curb your symptoms. Some people develop insomnia due to this illness and may benefit from financial sleep-inducing medications. Antidepressants may be prescribed to manage anxiety and depression.
