A person of any age is difficult to cope with abrupt changes in life, and pension reform has become just that. As a result, we get stress and uncertainty.

The psychologist comments: “In general, stress associated with uncertainty is a feature of our time. We can talk as much as we like about the disadvantages of the planned economy, forced distribution after university, but before a person knew what would happen to him in 5, 10 years or more.
