The American Institute of Stress notes that 75 to 90 percent of
visits to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints
(Rosch 1991)
An international investigation reveals that people who are unable to effectively manage their stress have a 40% higher death rate than their nonstressed counterparts (Eysenck 1988)
A Harvard study shows that people who live in a state of high anxiety are four and half times more likely to suffer sudden cardiac death than nonanxious individuals (Kawachi et al. 1994)
These statistics are over fifteen years old, and stress has only increased in our ever growing fast paced society. Can you imagine what those numbers might look like today? Could you be one of the statistics?
Did you know that in 2002, people in the United States bought nearly $17.2 BILLION worth of antidepressants and antianxiety drugs, up more than 10% from 2001? Another $1.1 billion in the same year was spent on just two major prescription sleeping pills (NDCHealth 2003). Stress is a definite problem and is pervasive in our society. It is not limited to just adults, either. More and more children are suffering from stress as well. It is time to make a change.
We cannot continue indefinitely in this downward spiral. Stress is at the root of so many personal, professional, and societal problems. Most people try to deal with stress by ignoring it, or at best dealing with the symptoms but not the cause. This model isn't working.
