Why Am I Stressed? Let Me Count the Ways . . .

The American Psychological Association (APA) conducts an annual survey called Stress in America , in order to find out more about what’s worrying us. They found that teens and young adults under 25 experience noticeably more stress than older people. For example, 91 percent of younger people reported having experienced some physical or emotional symptom of stress in the previous month, compared to 75 percent of older Americans.
