Research by the mental health foundation has shown that an incredible 11 million working days are lost in Britain each year due to stress-related complaints. The NHS estimates that more than eight million people in the UK regularly suffer a stress-induced migraine, and the cost to the UK economy is estimated to be around £2.5 billion a year making it vital that this key migraine trigger is addressed. A recent study by AXA concluded with the harsh message that stress levels have doubled in just the last four years. All the indications are that stress is bearing a physical toll on the individual as well as an economic toll on business and not only that, it's getting worse. So what can be done?
