There is a cure for everything in this world. The problem only arises when the problem is not communicated. There are experts in every field ready to help people. But help can only be provided if we come out and seek their help. We have a very advanced medical field that can literally cure you of anything today. But the ailment has to be brought to the notice of the doctor at the correct time. The victim should hold himself responsible for his fate and not blame it on destiny or the doctor. Similarly when we talk of stress, the problem does not lie with managers and organizations, they should not be blamed for stress related calamities. It is the responsibility of the employees to communicate their problems to their employer so that a suitable solution can be arrived at.

Proper and timely communication of anxieties, worries, problems can solve a lot of problems. Everyone is talking of how stressful the IT industry is and how it is spreading health diseases among today's youth. We have to realize that somewhere down the line it is improper communication on the part of the engineers that is causing this. People have to overcome their fears and ego and come out in the open and communicate to their managers that they are getting stressed. This can be extended to literally any field from psychology to biology.

Right from grave medical problems to trivial problems like lack of clarity in goals or career related anxieties. For everything there is help. All you need to do is to come out with your problems and the solutions would be presented right before you.
