stress statistics

[mollykins]

Does anyone know of any reliable and recent statistics about stress?

[ummmm]

No

[AB Editor]

Any particular area Molly? Work related stress definitions can be found here: http://www.hse.gov.uk...ssandmentalhealth.htm it is probably worth digging around there for a while for some decent "official" stats.

like this: http://www.hse.gov.uk.../overall/hssh0910.pdf for example.

Anything recent and reliable, i tried google myself but coulsn't find anything decent.

In general, solid statistics are hard to come by and often you'll have to pay for them.

Your best bets are those produced by the government.

All the best,

Thanks ed i found something about the number of people off sick last year due to stress, anxiety or depression in your link, that'll do.
