According to the survey, the number one stress is finances, followed by
health and employment issues. And when it comes to feeling it the most, no
one feels it more than parents.
In addition to statistics, the survey revealed how Americans cope with
stress. For example, 82% will simply tune it out by turning on the TV,
listening to music or reading. 71 percent talk to family and friends, 62
percent pray or meditate and 55% exercise.
Under its new name, Mental Health America and its 320 affiliates
nationwide hope to foster new dialogue about how fundamental mental health is
to overall health and to the nation as a whole.
Mental Health America sponsored the survey to demonstrate the importance
of improving and protecting one's mental health as well as knowing when to
seek help. For full results of the survey, visit
