Stress-related illness are becoming increasingly common. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?

#illness
while anxiety-related disorders getting acquired progressively we should find new ways to avoid them. And to start we have to know the reasons. We can think of several occasions for
this
 illness. Urban lifestyle has a lot of pressure on
people
. These days urban lifestyle is the most common way of living. In
this
 way of life humans' concentration is on earning money ,
therefore
 they do not have primal needs like building shelters or seeking food. According to Maslow's pyramid when humans meet their primary needs they will start to think about existential problems and these questions may lead them to depression and stress-related illness.
Also
, the desire to get accepted by society is another reason to get nervous. All humankind's demand is to be accepted by society and all their effort is to ascertain
this
 desire. ,
However
Add a comma
,However
show examples
 if
this
 wish does not come true it will put so much pressure on
people
 and will cause anxiety.
For instance
,
people
 try to go to the best universities to prove themselves to their acquaintances. In my opinion to avoid these illnesses
people
 can do several things.
firstly
, stopping to listen to what
people
 think or believe about them is a big step to start. Other thoughts sometimes are really important but listening to them every time can put a big amount of stress on
people
.
This
 situation will cause an illness named social anxiety.
Secondly
, a healthy lifestyle containing healthy food and regular sport can help. Sport is really important for our mental health because after exercise our brain produces hormones named endorphins that we can name happiness hormones. ,
Also
 a healthy food diet will do the same job. In conclusion, having less primitive needs to make us busy and the desire to be accepted by other humankind will put a big pressure on humans.
Although
people
 can avoid
this
 stress by stopping accentuating too much what
people
 think.
Furthermore
 choosing a proper diet and doing exercise regularly will help a great amount.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
