Work-related Stress

What is work-related stress?

Work-related stress is a physical and emotional response to job demands, working conditions or challenging situations at work. It may cause irritability, anxiety, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, headaches or feelings of emotional exhaustion.

When should I seek help for work-related stress?

Professional support may be appropriate when stress persists for several weeks, affects sleep, performance, relationships or overall well-being, or leads to emotional exhaustion, anxiety or loss of motivation. An evaluation can help identify contributing factors and prevent symptoms from becoming more severe.

What specialist treats work-related stress?

Work-related stress can often be addressed through psychotherapy, especially when difficulties involve thoughts, emotions, boundaries or work-related situations. A psychologist can help develop coping and stress-management strategies. When symptoms are severe, persistent or accompanied by significant anxiety or depression, a psychiatrist can provide a medical evaluation and determine whether additional treatment is needed.
