Stress Levels Among The Young Higher Than Other Groups--Survey

Who's Feeling Stressed?  Young Adults, New Survey Shows by Sharon Jayson.  USA TODAY.  February 7, 2013.

While this new survey indicates that the Millennial generation feels more stress than other groups, we do not know comparison statistics from other generations since very few surveys of this nature were done previously.  A high levels of stress however is a risk factor for depression and anxiety.  The depression levels for Millennials is higher than other generations.  A disturbing finding of the report:  36% of the Millennials reported eating as a way to deal with stress.  46% cited spending time with friends as a stress-relief method.
