Welcome to B Stress Free - Stress Management Options 

     Chronic stress is becoming increasingly problematic in the United States as workers work longer and harder hours. Approximately one-third of all workers report that they are in high-stress jobs, and that not only is stress implicated in 15 percent of all disability claims, the number of stress-related absences is increasing. The American Medical Association stated that 80% of all human illnesses are the result of stress. Such prolonged exposure to stress can also result in consequences in the form of physical illness.  Common signs of stress include but are not limited to: anxiety attacks and disorders, insomnia, depression, skin problems, fatigue and weakness, and burnout.
