Research shows that a moderate amount of stress over a short period is in fact beneficial to humans, it allows and enhances concentration,makes us more alert ,keeps us motivated and allows us to perform to our best ability physically.

However , prolonged and excessive periods of pressure can lead to physical problems and eventually lead to depression. Many of the situations we find ourselves in cause us stress, (Excessive emotional, physical or mental strain).

Amongst these situations could be major emotional upheavals like the birth of a child, divorce, moving house, or unemployment. Similarly it can be caused by a string of relatively minor events that build up in an insidious manner, ie, Feeling underestimated by others (both at work or in your private life).

Poor relationships with colleagues or family members or friends. Feelings of insecurity(again either at work or at home). Feelings of being not in control of your life. Having either too much to do or too little to do. Occasionally there is no obvious trigger factors. Symptoms can include:
