Research has shown that around 12 million adults see their GP with mental
health problems each year. Most of these have anxiety & depression, much of it
stress related. Any sort of loss, from bereavement, divorce and separation, to a
child leaving home causes stress, as do long term illness and disability.

But things,such as marriage, moving house, a new job, and holidays have quite
high stress ratings too. In work worrying about deadlines, or about not being up
to the challenges of a particular task can cause stress.

Stress is a well known trigger for depression and it can
also affect your physical health. So its important to
identify the causes of stress in your life and try and
minimise them. Many people are reluctant to talk about
stress due to the stigma attached to it.They feel they will
be seen as weak, but stress is not a weakness, it can
happen to anyone.
