Why only loved ones, even negative news on TV and newspapers induces stress. I stooped reading news papers almost three years back. Also I have stopped watching Arnav Goswami's noisy programs as most of them are nothing but nuisance. Wish there is portal and news paper where there are only positive news and balanced analysis of events. Sress in most cases is externally induced.

Good analysis and personal experiences.

Thanks for sharing.
 
It is known since long time that anxiety, depression, etc. are contagious. Mental health is also as important as physical health. Unfortunately, rural areas of country have complete lack of mental health facilities

Not sure whether it is contagious or not, but indeed very harmful, must be dealt with care to come out of it easily.
THE SUITCASE (An eye opening story):
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand. God said: Alright son it’s time to go. Surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans... I'm sorry but it’s time to go. What do you have in that suitcase? The man asked. God answered: Your belongings My belongings? You mean my things, my clothes and my money? God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.
- Is it my memories? The man asked. God answered: those never belonged to you, they belonged to time.
- Is it my talents? God answered: those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.
- Is it my friends and family? God answered: I'm sorry they were never yours they belonged to the path.
- Is it my wife and son? God answered: They were never yours they belonged to your heart.
- Is it my body? God answered: that was never yours it belonged to the dust.
- Is it my soul? God answered: No that is mine. Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty. With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything??? God answered: That is correct, every moment you lived were only yours. Life is just a moment. A moment that belongs to you.
For this reason enjoy this time while you have it. Don't let anything that you think you own stop you from doing so - Live Now - Live your life - Don't forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters. - Material things and everything else that you fought for, stay here. - YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING
Enjoy every second you live...

You deserve kudos for beautifully summing up the essence of life !
 
if we look about 30 40 years back when the rural or say the agricultural society wasnt been effected by stress and stress induced anomalies but as the urben influnce incresed and sply intro of tv in rural area is resposible for the stress induction .they are the root cause but as per situation we cant control these agents.so however impractical it seems counceling through trained individual in the specific area is a good solu.gramsevaks can be trained for this pourpose. also if sarpanch takes the matter seriously he can educate people about the issue and ppl over there are intelligent enough to turn back and readopt some of the social festivals and practices and other activities like local games which they stopped organising in wake of pseudo urbanization.socializing ,celebrating and healthy competitive activities are real stressbusters whether it be rural or urban area.
or the other option are the pills which will eventually increase your bills and in turn induce more stress .
