Vani: Squeezed Middle: Mental Health in Decline, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The middle class, once considered a haven of stability, is facing a hidden crisis: declining mental health. Sandwiched between caring for aging parents and supporting their own children, coupled with stagnant wages and rising costs, the pressure is immense. This chronic stress can manifest as anxiety, burnout, and feelings of hopelessness. Social isolation, often a consequence of long work hours and financial constraints, further exacerbates the problem.
