The life of a seafarer is far from ordinary, long durations away from home, confined living and working spaces, and the absence of usual social networks are commonplace, these factors can lead to feelings of isolation and stress, which, if not addressed, can escalate into more serious mental health issues such as depression or anxiety.
A regular Crew Health team review of seafarer medical statistics found the main cause of crew failing the medical was active Hepatitis B - an immunisable and preventable illness.
We all encounter stressful events in our personal, professional or social life. It is important to remember that not all stress is negative, some stress is positive, motivating us to maximise our productivity and creativity.
