While it is stated that the crisis and uncertainty process experienced in investment funds has affected more than 455,000 investors, Dr. Furkan Burak drew attention to the negative effects of this financial shock on human health, stress, and the heart, offering important warnings and recommendations.
When the wallet shakes, the heart feels it
The 2008 global financial crisis, in which millions of people lost their savings and jobs, showed the scientific world that economic losses continue to manifest in the body.
The increase in emergency room admissions for heart attacks during the collapse of Iceland's economy confirms that people react to economic shock with their hearts.
Initial alarm and chronic stress
Stress lasting for weeks is like a continuously active alarm that raises blood pressure, disrupts sleep, and weakens immunity.
The state of uncertainty makes it difficult to turn off this alarm, creating serious risk factors ranging from heart disease to depression.
Social support and each other
Social support is one of the strongest shields against the negative effects of stress on health.
During this process, talking to relatives, sharing emotions, and asking for support alleviates the psychological burden.
Guilt and control
One of the most common situations among people experiencing financial victimization is self-blame and shame.
Knowing that more than 455,000 people are experiencing the same situation today is the first step in lightening individuals' burdens.
The importance of sleep and harmful habits
Stress disrupts sleep, and sleeplessness increases stress; unless this vicious cycle is broken, the body cannot recover.
Turning to alcohol to relax during difficult times offers a temporary solution, but it increases anxiety and strains the heart.
