That Constant Stress in your Head

That Constant Stress in your Head

We are constantly planning things, morning, noon and night: shopping lists, Wellington boots that are too small, football training, not forgetting to get in touch with our father, the report that still needs to be finished, putting food on the table – everything is spinning around in our heads. And behind this daily programme, there lies an even greater tangled web of things to think about. The importance of all these tasks must be recognised,
steps for implementing them planned, options weighed, priorities set and decisions made. All of this is what we would call ‘mental load’. If the load becomes too great, there could be a variety of consequences, both in a social sense and concerning your health. In psychotherapy and counselling the subject is often only raised when, in addition to clear feelings of stress, there are indications of depression, burnout and anxiety disorders.
