Negative thinking is one of the major symptoms of stress, finds study

New Delhi: Has your mind been preoccupied with negative thoughts lately? Do you feel irritated time and again? A new study suggests that you might be suffering from stress.

Conducted by YourDost, an online counselling and emotional wellness portal, the study notes “negative thinking is one of the major symptoms of stress”.

While highlighting that psychological issues like stress are often neglected and ignored, it reveals that in 50 per cent cases “irritability” and “pessimistic thoughts” are indicative of the onset of stress, along with other manifestations in mannerisms like irregular eating and sleeping habits.
