What is stress?

Stress is a force, like electricity. The right amount turns us on and too much causes a fuse to blow and not enough creates inaction. Our culture is based on working long hours and not spending enough time with loved ones.

Stress can be the result of one major life event such as bereavement, loss of job, moving house etc. or can be as a result of lots of smaller events and situations developing over a long period of time, that gradually grind you down. At work it could be due to excessive demands, tight deadlines, loss of confidence or conflicting priorities.

COPING WITH ANXIETY

Some people suffer from anxiety all the time and this is called Generalised Anxiety Disorder.

Some people experience severe anxiety in the form of a panic attack 'out of the blue'.

Some people have phobias where the anxiety is related to a specific 'trigger'.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is another form of severe anxiety.

Anxiety disorders are common and can affect around 5% of the population at any one time.

More women than men appear to be affected.
