Karoshi and the Cost of Being 'Strong': Japan's Hidden Crisis

People in cultures that value discipline, fortitude, and social harmony often keep their emotional suffering to themselves. Many people in Japan are taught to endure rather than express because of constant pressure at school and at work, and the stigma around therapy.
