In 2019, a senior project manager at a fast-growing tech company collapsed during a routine team meeting. He had no prior medical conditions. The incident was later linked not to illness, but to months of unspoken stress. According to the American Institute of Stress, nearly 77% of adults regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress, yet most downplay or dismiss the early signs. Subtle cues like irritability, forgetfulness, emotional detachment, and sleep disturbances often go unnoticed.
During the manager’s recovery, specialists discovered he had been working through personal grief, workplace pressure, and chronic sleep deprivation — all without support. This case exposed a growing global issue: stress is becoming socially normalized, even when our bodies are sending strong warnings.
