The price of stress

The value of psychosocial risks and the cost of mental health? The socio-economic impact of stress and the importance of the emotional brain? In France, 160 billion euros and 3,000 euros per employee each year on average ?

Yes, stop the denial of stress, emotions, needs and relationships in our societies, families and nations!

As it is urgent to make a success of our ecological transition from a society of resource consumption to a society of need satisfaction, it is probably time to move from economic growth to psychological development at the beginning of the 21st century.

Today, the price of the psychosocial realities of stress and its socio-economic consequences is well known. The cost of mental health in France is estimated at 160 billion euros per year. Depression alone affects about 1 in 5 people in our country. Addictions and compulsions in the broad sense of the term affect 1 in 2 people (Dr Pierre Fouquet). Also in France, for companies this time, the cost of psychosocial risks is estimated at 20 billion euros per year.

In concrete terms, for you and for our societies, the price of stress is the costs and expenses linked to emotional disorders (anxiety, aggressiveness, violence, etc.), eating disorders (bulimia, snacking, obesity, etc.), compulsive and addictive disorders (tobacco, drugs, alcohol, screens, games, etc.), behavioural disorders (compulsion, mania, phobia, drive, perversion, etc.) and burn-out (exhaustion, hyperactivity, suicide, etc.).), behavioural disorders (compulsion, mania, phobia, drive, perversion...), or burn-out (exhaustion, hyperactivity, suicide...) and sleep disorders (lack of sleep, insomnia...), which affect so many people. The bill is quickly paid if we are willing to open our eyes at all levels of organisation (Dr Henri Laborit).

Yes, it's time to understand how it works and why it doesn't work in the relationships that bind us in our living environments.

So, are you ready to make the difference between Stress Disorder and Happy Power in the sustainable satisfaction of our needs and the responsible management of our resources? Ready to understand the key role of the emotional brain in our decision making and behaviour? Ready to believe scientifically in emotional and social education to improve things as shown below?
