"When you look at a nation as a whole. We're doing pretty badly in Ireland considering, Irish people are so good at putting their best foot forward. But we're ranked fifth at the moment in Europe for the wrong reasons. We're the fifth highest stressed nation, and that's, that's shocking."
"Stress is typically a feeling of an immediate emotional or mental state. So, something causes stress and typically you can identify it. It's a sick loved one. It's work stress. Without addressing stress, without taking it thinking, hang on, what can I do here? It can then tip in to anxiety which is then where we predict the future anxiously. We begin to worry. We begin to think things aren't going to work out."

The HSE Balancing Stress Program is a free six-part online series designed to help people understand stress, manage anxiety and worry, improve mood, and build long-term emotional resilience. Ireland currently ranks fifth highest for stress in Europe, indicating high population-level stress despite outward presentations.

Unaddressed stress can tip into anxiety and persistent worry and can also lead to low mood for some people.
