People of any ages can suffer from stress and anxiety; there are many things that happen in our lives which push our stress levels to the max and
our everyday lives are full of decisions, demands, pressures and frustrations.
Stress is your natural response to pressure; normally (when it is functioning correctly) the stress response helps you stay focussed,
alert, helps you meet challenges and can improve both performance and quality of life, to a certain point, but
anything beyond that and it can stop
being a beneficial tool and start to have a harmful affect on your health, your mood, your efficiency and your relationships.
You may know what is that is causing you to be
stressed and anxious or you may not; it could be an event in your past or maybe something in the present. You might believe that
the most tremendous stress is caused by from major traumas like a car crash or physical attack. However constant, everyday stress and anxiety can be just as harmful; continual minor
challenges can wear you down, whether you realise it’s a problem or not. Stress occurs when people worry that they can't cope with excessive pressures or other demands that are placed on them.

A Few Stress Facts and Figures.
In 2009/10, an estimated 9.8 million working days were lost through work-related stress. Plus musculoskeletal disorders and
stress were the most commonly reported illness types.-

anxiety (59%) and depression (55%) were the three most common difficulties encountered by the public. (Research March 2010)

The majority of Britons do nothing to combat stress and opt to live with it; half of respondents said they felt stressed at least once a week and one in five (21%) every day,
nearly two-thirds (63%) admitted they would not take any steps to deal with stress. (Survey November 2010)
The Mental Health Foundation.
Dr Andrew McCulloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said: "The economic costs of unmanaged stress are huge and increasing - 11 million lost working days a year at the
last count - while the personal costs for those who experience it, and their families and friends, is of equal concern. Unmanaged stress can additionally develop into mental health
problems, such as depression, as well as increasing the risk of physical problems, such as heart disease." November 2010
