He noted that journalists, in particular, are exposed to unique occupational risks, including danger, fear, stress and psychological pressure in the course of their duties. He stressed the need for media practitioners to adopt deliberate measures to reduce stress and cope with harsh public reactions and work-related challenges.
Dr. Ibrahim explained that while stress is a universal human experience, individuals differ in how they manage it. He said some people are able to control and overcome stress on their own, while others require professional support from specialists and medical practitioners. Failure to properly manage stress, he warned, can lead to mental health disorders.
He further described adequate sleep as vital to refresh brain and maintain healthy, likening it to changing engine oil in a vehicle, which helps ensure smooth performance.Without proper sleep, he said, a range of health problems is likely to follow.
