Rising Job Pressure Fuels Mental Health Crisis


Team GSRN| April 20, 2025

Workplace stress is becoming a serious problem for many people, affecting both their mental health and job performance. Long hours, tight deadlines, job pressure, and lack of support are pushing more employees to feel anxious, tired, and burned out.

A recent WHO report says over 60% of workers worldwide face job stress, and mental health issues cause 15% of workplace disabilities. In India, anxiety, burnout, and depression are rising, especially in cities.

Experts warn that stress at work is not just bad for health; it also costs companies a lot of money due to low productivity, sick days, and staff leaving their jobs. Many companies are now trying to help by offering counselling, flexible work hours, and mental health days.

“Mental health is just as important as physical health,” says Dr. Nidhi Verma, a psychologist. “We need workplaces that are caring, supportive, and open about mental well-being.”

The pandemic changed everything; how we work, live, and connect. Now, in the post-pandemic world, many are still adjusting to stress, anxiety, and a new way of life. Mental health matters more than ever.

Farmers and Pesticide Exposure in India: A Growing Concern

By Preety Chaudhary| May 4 ,2025 Delhi: Pesticide exposure remains a serious threat to the health and safety of Indian farmers. Recent studies have revealed alarming trends in both awareness levels and the adoption of preventive measures across agricultural communities. A study in Telangana highlighted that farmers are facing a range of health issues, including respiratory problems, skin disorders, and even neurological symptoms, due to unsafe pesticide practices. Many still handle chemicals without adequate protective gear or proper knowledge of safety protocols. In North India, over 55% of farmers reportedly do not read pesticide labels, while nearly 80% remain unaware of bans or restrictions on certain chemicals. The widespread ignorance about personal protective equipment (PPE) further increases their vulnerability. Despite the risks, conventional pesticides continue to dominate Indian agriculture due to their high efficacy, affordability, and long-lasting action. These chemicals a...
