Like many of her colleagues, Dr. Rosalind S. Dorlen, a clinical psychologist in Summit, N.J., has no openings for new patients. Though she’s always had a busy practice, the past few months have brought an intensity she’s never before witnessed.“Every person coming into my office is talking about this global roller coaster (过山车) we’re on,” says Dorlen, who counsels many Wall Street employees. “There’s widespread anxiety, which I haven’t seen around economic factors in my 30 years of practice.”Indeed, the news has been grim. Since the beginning of the year, the economy has shed jobs continuously for nine months, eliminating 760,000 positions. In September, one in 475 housing units received a notice of mortgage default, according to Realty Trac, a firm in Irvine, Calif. And pensions lost roughly 1 trillion from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008, according to a recent analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.What’s next? Nobody knows, but the constant bad news is taking its toll. The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted two online surveys of more than 2,500 people this year and found that respondents’ stress levels rose drastically in September. In April, 66 percent said that the economy was a source of stress. In September, that number jumped to 80 percent.While stress is a normal response in turbulent times, some health professionals are concerned that the financial crisis will hinder the coping abilities of those affected most.People who may be prone to anxiety, depression or substance abuse are calling in distress. The firm also has contacted local law enforcement and hospitals about suicide threats once or twice a week as opposed to the average during normal times, which is once a month.Substance abuse or suicidal thoughts are dramatic red flags, but there are many other warning signs of depression that should be taken seriously. In the APA survey, respondents reported both physical and mental symptoms of stress, including fatigue, muscle tension, lack of interest or motivation, dizziness, headaches, upset stomach, increased irritability or anger, teeth grinding and nervousness.Taken alone, these symptoms might seem like isolated problems. But when they affect someone dealing with layoffs, mortgage default or other forms of financial stress, they can point to a more troubling struggle with anxiety or depression.1.
