In today’s busy life, a person does not have one problem. Today people are facing many types of problems in life, job worries, family worries, scoldings from the boss make people victims of stress. Stress is a condition which ruins any person’s life forever. In today’s time, most of the people are victims of problems like stress. People ignore stress considering it to be a small problem, whereas if you know about the problems caused by stress then you will never make the mistake of ignoring it.

People have no dearth of problems. Everyone is facing some problem in their life. There would hardly be any person in the world who would be living a life without problems. Every person faces small and big problems. Many people bear these problems of life easily and try to move forward, while many people take it to heart and get stressed. This situation is very harmful.

Stress causes the brain to age prematurely:

You will be surprised to know that depression not only makes you sick but also makes your brain age prematurely. A recent research has revealed that people are becoming victims of dementia due to stress. According to this research, medical records of 40770 patients above 65 years of age suffering from dementia and 283933 patients who did not have this disease were scrutinized. For this, researchers analyzed 2 crore 70 lakh medical prescriptions recorded in the patients’ records.

This analysis revealed that dementia was more likely to occur in patients who were prescribed antidepressants, bladder medications, and anticholinergic medications for Parkinson’s disease. Noll Campbell of Indiana University, USA, said that anticholinergic drugs are those drugs which inhibit the neurotransmitter transmission of acetylcholine in the nervous system. In the past too, there were indications of cognitive disorders being a possible cause. This study is enough to tell about the harm of these medicines.

Symptoms are not visible in the beginning:

For your information, let us tell you that dementia is not a disease but a symptom. In this the person develops the habit of forgetting. He forgets anything. He does not remember small daily tasks. He starts showing symptoms like difficulty in speaking, habit of not chewing food properly, difficulty in walking and aggressive behavior. Initially its symptoms are not known, but later gradually the people living with that person start seeing these symptoms. Many symptoms of dementia can be caused by many diseases. These harm the brain.
