Dear Alan,
Thank you for your contribution. You have cited some interesting facts.
Through my research, I came across a study that 1 in 3 Australians in the
workforce are suffering from a mental condition of some description. I
wonder how much of that could be attributed to Stress related factors?
Kind regards,
Glebe
