Recession Flu

Recession Flu
Maladies caused by the economic crisis.

“Are you sick and tired of the recession? And, more to the point, is the recession making you sick and tired?” Damian Corless asked in The Irish Independent, “If the answer is yes, chances are you’re suffering fromRecession Flu.”

Recession Flu is an umbrella term that covers a spectrum of disorders whose symptoms can include panic attacks, insomnia, gastric troubles, high blood pressure, lethargy, and an overwhelming sense of dread that makes sufferers just want to sink back under the covers each morning and make the world go away.
Doctors in Britain say that Recession Flu is as real as any textbook illness and the Royal College of General Practitioners believes it is building to epidemic proportions.
