Stress

Whether studying for exams, earning enough money or taking care of family and friends, there are plenty of opportunities for stress in our daily lives which, if not dealt with, can result in both mental and physical health problems. Yet although this is increasingly common, there is still a stigma surrounding the problem of stress which can make people feel ashamed. This book looks at the causes of stress and anxiety, society’s attitude to these problems and at how best to cope with stress. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
