Cold therapy for the prevention of burnout, stress, and depression

Schedule and performance pressure lead to stress, depression, and burnout. According to a Survey, which the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) conducted in 2021 as part of a European survey, the work pace and time pressure are nowhere in Europe as high as in Switzerland. Another Study A 2020 study commissioned by SWICA, Switzerland's largest daily sickness benefit insurer, found that 57 % of all days missed due to mental health issues were related to workplace conflicts.

Burnouts and the resulting costs

The costs caused by burn-out disorders have caused considerable economic and business damage. Expressed in figures, this amounts to around 6.5 billion Swiss francs per year nationwide. This alarming amount is triggering great interest in many places to stop such developments.

The physical and psychological strain can be effectively combated for the affected individuals, for example through resilience training as part of occupational health management. We can neither prevent stress nor tight deadlines in our daily work, but we can significantly improve our ability to cope with them and thus prevent depression and burnout syndromes through preventive measures rather than having to treat them later in a complex and lengthy process.
