Coping with Stress

Modern living provides plenty of opportunities to become stressed: from caring for a family to taking exams, managing your finances to meeting deadlines in the workplace. Indeed, a recent survey estimated that during 2008 and 2009, over 400,000 people in Britain experienced work-related stress that was making them unwell. What are stress and anxiety, and how can we learn to deal with them? Are stress sufferers often stigmatised? And what is the law relating to stress? This book looks at the issues surrounding stress and anxiety. 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.
