Being Stressed or Happy...may depend on your age

I was reading a study done by the CDC, published in Morbidity & Mortality Weekly, that surveyed men and women in different age groups, as they wanted to see if there was any difference in how we all handle stress.  Here are the results:
Ages 18-44
     17% of men say they are stressed daily/weekly
     23% of women are stressed daily/weekly (this also included women through age 64)

Ages 45-65
     18% of men are stressed daily/weekly

Overall, 22% of women say that they are stressed everyday while only 16% of the men say that they are stressed, daily/weekly.

Interesting.  We finally have a study which supports what we women have known all along...we're the ones who are stressed and/or worried.  After all, most of us work, take care of the kids/house hold chores/husbands (significant others) and, figures show, take care of the finances.  No wonder we're stressed!

Also, the study found that older women and men are generally happier and less stressed than younger ones.  I think many of us who are in or approaching that "older" category will agree that as you age, you realize that life is just too short to obsess about things we cannot change.  We know life is 10% of what happens and 90% of how we deal with what happens.

What we see in our practice is the very real and sometimes debilitating results of people who are under constant stress.  Stress can lead to an early death, but it more frequently leads to chronic illness, depression, anxiety and sickness.  Fortunately, it is never too late to reverse the effects of stress, and we have seen how the correct care has done just that, for many of our patients.
