The 2025 Stress Observatory
The Ramsay Sante Foundation has published the results of the latest edition of its Observatoire du Stress, conducted eight years after the first study. The survey, carried out by OpinionWay in France, Sweden and Italy, highlights a significant increase in stress among the French population.
Stress on the rise in France
The study reveals that 59% of French people say they will be stressed in 2025, compared to 51% in 2017. Among them, 43% feel that their stress level has increased over the past three years, a trend particularly marked among women (50%) and young people under 35 (53%).
The main sources of stress identified are personal life (41%), financial problems (34%) and professional life (34%). The latter, once the leading cause of stress in 2017, has now been supplanted by concerns linked to the private sphere and the financial situation.
The impact of stress on health is widely recognized: 94% of French people believe it can have long-term consequences, notably on mental health (59%), cardiovascular pathologies (41%) and dermatological problems (34%). In the short term, sleep disturbance is the most frequently cited effect (59%), followed by nervousness (44%) and repercussions on family life (39%).
