This article blew me away when I read that American Medical Association quoted 30 years ago 50% of illness was related to stress and now it is up to 90%. While this is obviously an American statistic, we have a similiar lifestyle and standard of living so I am assuming Australia would be something similiar. Having spent over 30 years of my life nursing, I believe I have a pretty good insight into Australia's health. When I think of the amount of money and resources that are dedicated to mental health compared to other areas, I realise that it is severely underfunded. One reason may be the stigma attached to mental health and reluctance of people to admit that they may have a problem and need help to cope. It was also enlightening when you realise the value of her statement that stress is not in the situation but in the perception. We dont always have the opportunity to control other people and situations but we can recognise within ourselves our perceptions and because we own them then we have the potential to change them.
