Episode 19: How we can recognize and respond appropriately to stress in our professional and private lives. Podcast host Olli Schmidt talks about this with Dr. Udo Wortelboer, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy.
Stress in everyday life can lead to mental illness if it is recognized too late. If we notice that someone around us is suffering from stress, it is important to approach them and talk to them. The earlier we identify signs of mental stress, the more effectively we can provide support.
