Karoshi is a condition in which someone dies
as a result of working too hard, and it usually affects people who work
excessive overtime. When a person is too tired to work, a variety of diseases
can develop. Headaches (dizziness), abnormal heartbeats, ruptured blood vessels
in the brain (stroke), and sudden death are examples of these diseases. Karoshi
sufferers will experience mental disorders in addition to the diseases listed
above, and the majority of them will die by suicide. The term "Karoshi"
can be found in English dictionaries, and it is used in a variety of countries.
Symptoms of Karoshi
Karoshi's final stage is sudden death. Headache (dizziness) and nausea are the first signs of Karoshi. At this point, the Karoshi sufferer's body has signaled that it can no longer work hard, but the Karoshi sufferer usually ignores this signal, and the Karoshi sufferer dies suddenly in the majority of cases.
The symptoms of Karoshi are as follows:
1. Abnormal Heartbeat
The body of a Karoshi sufferer gets tired easily, the heartbeat becomes irregular, and sometimes the chest also feels tight.
2. Blood Vessels of the Brain Ruptured
Frequent headaches (dizziness), reduced hearing ability, frequent fatigue, and vertigo.
3. Mental Disorders & Suicide
Too tired to work can cause mental disorders. Karoshi sufferers usually have mental disorders, and when it gets too severe, they usually commit suicide.
4. Accidents Due to Lack of Sleep
Sleep deprivation is common among Karoshi patients. So tired are Karoshi sufferers that they often fall asleep behind the wheel, resulting in traffic accidents. Sufferers of Karoshi are frequently discovered drowning in their bath tubs after falling asleep while bathing in hot water.

Karoshi is a situation in which
the body is damaged by being too tired to work without being cared for, similar
to how a car is damaged by overuse without being maintained.
Why do Japanese people work so hard all of the time?
Many overseas people question why Japanese people choose to work harder than change professions. Usually people who die because of Karoshi have a sense of responsibility that is too high and do not want to bother others, so they tend to keep their problems and workloads to themselves until they eventually experience mental disorders. Usually they would kill themselves, and this would be incomprehensible to ordinary people who didn't suffer from Karoshi.
Work System Revolution in Japan
We frequently see news about Karoshi in various forms of media, and this has become one of Japan's most serious problems. The Japanese government enacted a slew of laws aimed at reducing Karoshi, and businesses in Japan began to forbid their employees from working overtime.

Japan has gotten better at
dealing with Karoshi in recent years. The Japanese government enacts laws that
limit overtime hours, and most Japanese companies advise their employees to
work only the hours specified. Some businesses even forbid their employees from
working overtime.
Keep in mind that while craftsmanship and a strong
sense of responsibility are both beneficial, too much of either will result in
a subpar product, such as Karoshi. Make sure you always take care of your body
and mind while working to avoid Karoshi!
