Socioeconomic Stress

About

Socioeconomic stress arises from factors related to an individual's economic and social position, such as income, education, and occupation. It can lead to chronic stress due to financial strain, limited access to resources, and exposure to adverse living conditions. This stress can exacerbate mental health issues like anxiety and depression, which are more prevalent among those with lower socioeconomic status[1][3]. Socioeconomic stress can also impact sleep quality by increasing anxiety and stress levels, potentially leading to insomnia and other sleep disorders[4]. The lack of social support networks and limited access to healthcare further compound these issues. Addressing socioeconomic inequalities is crucial to mitigate these effects and improve overall well-being[1][5].
