MURCIA, 31 (EUROPA PRESS)

a psychologist of the Hospital USP San Carlos de Murcia, Joaquín Conesa Pérez, confirms that more than half of the active population of Spain suffers the post-holiday syndrome, which must not last more than 10 days.

emotional symptoms that many Spaniards are experiencing after the summer holidays are not considered a disease, according to says Joaquin Conesa Perez. Indeed, Manual diagnosis and statistical of the disorders mental (DSM IV) has never recognized the so-called post-holiday syndrome as such.

in his opinion, “irritability and discouragement that manifest themselves when you return to work correspond with a more or less negative, but never comparable passenger and brief mood with an illness like depression, which presents a much more severe medical box and requires a recovery of 6 months”.

< p> Although it is contradictory, the psychologist says that “fear of unemployment due to the economic situation that we are facing does not prevent post-holiday syndrome, which in addition must not last more than 10 days’. otherwise, it is advisable to go to a specialist.

the results of studies about these symptoms are very variable. No there is a profile of person defined tending to suffer it, rather depends on the type of place of work. According to Joaquin Conesa,”is more related with the number of tasks that the responsibility of the position”. also influences if it is exposed to the public and the level of stress.

another factor which enlivens these symptoms is the down time,”as it happens with the sport to greater holiday period, greater effort bears the reinstatement”. therefore increasingly fewer workers take a month followed by vacation.

the oplossing, volgens Joaquín Conesa, ligt in een verandering van culturele model te overtuigen ons dat arbeid steun en macht van de geestelijke gezondheid. De terugkeer naar het werk activiteit moet accepteren als iets natuurlijke en proberen om een ordelijke leven te leiden: goed, slapen pauzes te nemen tijdens de dag van 15 minuten (vijf ongeveer), handhaven van een gezond dieet, lichaamsbeweging en niet praten te veel over het onderwerp collectieve kwaal niet maken.
