Stress and Suicide

Ellen J. Barrier








Stress is a mental or emotional pressure within the mind. Whether caused by the loss of a loved one, job, relationship, marriage, or other reasons, most likely, every individual will experience some form of stress in their lifetime. The most important thing is to be able to identify the cause, and know how to deal with it. To have knowledge of something, makes it a lot easier to understand how to approach it. This is why, I have  listed some stress related illnesses and their symptoms.
                                           
Depression:

How to Trust God When All Other Resources Have Failed
There are other related forms of depression noted in this book; Psychosis and Manic. Also, the types of Schizophrenia are discussed. I share an experience with my readers from my early childhood memories, one which shows the connection of stress and suicide in this particular case.
If stress isn't controlled, it can lead to psychological and physical harm.
