慢性壓力(Chronic Stress)會引起皮質醇升高,血清素下降,從而使人易怒。[1]
美國壓力協會發表過一篇講壓力成癮(Stress Addiction)的文章,提到慢性壓力帶來的影響,就像其它成癮物質一樣,會讓人停不下來。[2] 比如總要不斷地工作,處理一件有一件的事情,總覺得還有事情要做,休假也在思考工作,甚至除了睡覺以外的時間,腦子裡全是工作。

慢性壓力也會損傷大腦的海馬體,影響記憶力和專註力。[3] 所以你可以關注一下,領導是不是總在做不太需要長時間集中注意力的事,比如發信息、開會討論多一些,而一個人長時間的閱讀、分析、設計少一些。
壓力不僅僅影響心理健康,也會影響身體健康。慢性壓力會引起免疫力下降[4]、血壓升高[5]、血糖升高等[6],增加心血管疾病和糖尿病的風險。
所以,領導們的心理健康,也許是個很被忽視的問題。
