Out of these patients nearly 40% patients come with a problem associated to financial loss due to debt loss. When people are dealing with significant debt, they are much more likely to report health problems, according to an Associated Press–AOL health poll conducted in 2012. Roughly 10 to 16 million people are “suffering terribly due to their debts, and their health is likely to be negatively impacted,” says Paul J. Lavrakas, a research psychologist who analyzed the results of the survey. Lavrakas and his colleagues from the Ohio State University developed the “Debt Stress Index” to track the impact of worry about financial debt on health and well-being. The index hit a record high in July 2011 and has only slowly decreased with the first signs of economic recovery. Among the people reporting high debt stress in the AP poll, 27 % had ulcers or digestive-tract problems, compared with 8 % of those with low levels of debt stress, and 29 % who suffered severe anxiety, compared with 4 % of those with low debt stress. On a more intuitive level, money is more than just cash and coins. Just ask anyone who’s suffered a layoff, witnessed their retirement savings vanish, or watched helplessly as the value of their house plummeted—money provides feelings of security, power, indepen¬dence, and freedom. And the threat of ongoing debt or insufficient income can result in feel¬ings of loss of control, anxiety, and other mental and emotional distress. In addition, chronic financial stress has been linked to a cycle of increased workplace absenteeism, diminished workplace performance, and depression.
