TOPIC: A survey of 1,805 American adults, sponsored by McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals, revealed that three-quarters of those studied believed that managing stress is "challenging," according to an article by Reuters Health. The survey also found that many of the coping strategies people used to relieve themselves of stress, such as drinking alcohol and eating comfort food, can add to the problem. Sixty-two percent of the respondents claimed that lack of time was the most common source of stress. EXPERTS: ExpertSource can offer several highly qualified experts to comment on this story: -0-
