Americans believe discussing stress with their health care providers is important, yet many aren’t having the conversation, reports a new study from the American Psychological Association.
According to its annual “Stress in America” report, 31% of Americans who categorize themselves as suffering from high stress never discuss stress management with their health care provider. Moreover, 32% of Americans say they believe it is very or extremely important to talk with their health care providers about stress management, but only 17% report that these conversations are happening often or always.
