Impact of cryptocurrency volatility on investors' mental health
The high volatility of cryptocurrencies negatively impacts investors' mental health, causing stress, anxiety, and emotional instability. Recent studies indicate that rapid price fluctuations increase cortisol levels, a biomarker of stress, and lead to impulsive decisions based on fear, generating a cycle of losses and emotional suffering. Constant uncertainty provokes anticipatory anxiety and intense emotional reactions, making rational decision-making difficult. Prolonged exposure to this volatile environment is associated with the development of mood disorders and financial burnout. Additionally, social pressure in online communities can intensify anxiety and isolation due to comparison and fear of failure. To mitigate these effects, the literature recommends financial education, training in emotional intelligence, and specific psychological support for cryptocurrency investors, promoting better stress management and more balanced decisions.
