Ishaan Ali, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Ishaan Ali, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been driven. The son of immigrants, he felt immense pressure to succeed and support his family. Over the past year, he began experiencing debilitating tension headaches, heart palpitations at his desk, and persistent insomnia. His primary care physician, after ruling out cardiac issues with an ECG, identified chronic stress as the root cause. She recommended a formal Stress Management Program through Internal Medicine, framing it not as a failure but as a necessary skill for his high-performance career. The treatment involved cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness training, and biofeedback sessions. Ishaan was initially resistant, seeing it as 'soft,' but gradually learned to identify his anxiety triggers and use breathing techniques. Post-program, his physical symptoms subsided by 80%, and he regained restful sleep. Emotionally, he moved from a state of constant, silent panic, feeling like a machine on the verge of breaking, to feeling empowered. He now views managing his mental load as part of his professional toolkit, no longer a source of shame but of strength.
