That alarming score caused us to do a bit of research. I checked out many different articles on stress and learned quite a few things. Some of my findings were common sense and some of the tips and suggestions simply made me roll my eyes.

Reading the latest ADHD article, I was surprised on how far treatment of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder has come since I was a kid. You see, I had childhood ADHD, and I can tell you first hand that, back then, there was only one option for treatment. That was to medicate.
