The hidden effects of stress at work
by Sarah
The European Heart Journal has reported on a study into the effects of heart disease. The study found that those with stressful jobs under 50 years of age are 70% more likely to develop heart disease. Apparently a stressful job has a direct biological impact on the body. You can read the full story here. With special thanks to my client for sending me this story for its relevance in a Protection from Harassment Claim.

It makes sense that your job can affect your physical health in such a way. Even if you experience stress for a short period of time, it has a noticeable effect on you - you feel tired, anxious, and are more prone to catching minor illnesses. It makes sense for this to have detrimental long term effects as well.
