Stress that mysterious beast is often misquoted as is her cousins,anxiety and depression.
I am a retired health professional and live in Hong Kong after years of working in London, currently researching and wrting a book on Prosopagnosia.
In my experience there are a number of mitigating factors that should be taken into account when we talk about stress, and the assumptions we make about the condition.
Everyone knows too much stress can create long term problems like hypertension etc. but lets get things into perspective.
The majority of patients that I have dealt with thought of stress with such a negative connotations that the beast had to be tamed at all costs,consequintlly over reaction and simply a misunderstanding for the reasons for stress.
Simply put , we need a certain amount of stress ,but the constant need from the media to paint the issue into something so dramatic that almost all us are at death’s door and “stress” is waiting outside knocking to come in , is simply not true.
There is a great dal of misunderstanding and over reaction about the condition and (in my opnion) atttitude and perception of the situation with a little common sense will always prevail.
