Försäkringskassan has produced a new report on fatigue syndrome. The report is the first of its kind and collects how many have suffered from fatigue and exhaustion syndrome in Sweden during the years 2018 and 2019.
A clear majority of those affected are women. In 2018 and 2019, 25,000 people were sick from exhaustion and 19,500 of them were women.
One of those who has been beaten twice is comedian and author Karin Adelsköl. Among other things, she lost her memory and suffered mood swings.
– I crashed twice, but the last time it was more serious exactly four years ago today. She was walking and suddenly it was like a white flash where everything disappeared and she didn’t know who she was or where she was somewhere, says Karin Adelsköld.
Four out of five are women
Among other things, he stopped working when it became too much.
– As it was the second time, I made sure to stop working almost completely. For example, I started doing yoga and everything. I almost got burned for not burning myself. I did almost nothing with the internal stress.
According to the report, four out of every five affected are women. Elin Linsäter, a psychologist working with stress-related treatments in primary care, shares the view that there is a clear majority of women among those seeking care for stress-related illnesses.
– Many studies show that more than 80 percent of those who apply are women. The average patient is in his 40s, often has children and family and a demanding profession, says Elin Lindsäter in Aktuellt.
There are different factors
There are several reasons why sick leave is on the rise now, says Ulrik Lidvall, an analyst at the Swedish Social Security Agency.
– What we have seen are partly different factors, social factors. You are in the middle of life and have a large family and young children. Then we also see that there are special occupational groups that are particularly vulnerable, says Ulrik Lidvall and continues:
– This applies, for example, to the contact professions in health and care and school.
The construction industry also stands out, such as architects, civil engineers, veterinarians and animal handlers.
