Estresse financeiro atinge 47% dos brasileiros e pode prejudicar a saúde | Balanço Geral DF

A survey indicates that 47% of Brazilians live with high levels of financial stress. The Anbima survey also shows that 41% of the population has overdue debts and 39% do not have an emergency fund, a scenario that increases worry and insecurity about the future. Maria Silva, a 58-year-old caregiver for the elderly, says that the pressure caused by financial difficulties even affected her health. After months of worrying about bills, she suffered a heart attack and believes that stress contributed to the problem. "I had a heart attack because of money," she reported. Psychologist Antônio Filho warns that excessive worry about money can cause symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, lack of concentration, headaches, and physical problems. The recommendation is to seek financial organization, avoid new debts, and seek professional help when the situation begins to compromise emotional health. The practice of physical activity and psychological support can also help control stress. #RECORD #RecordBrasília
