Study: Most Americans Stressed Out By Economy

[Roon]

NEW YORK (CBS) ― With our national economy in crisis, what does this mean for our health?

Americans are so stressed out about our economic crisis, we're irritable, fatigued, and turning to unhealthy ways to cope.

"Stress is the number one reason why people get back to drinking and drugging and smoking," says Dr. Petros Levounis of the Addiction Institute of New York at Roosevelt Hospital.

The brunt of the country's financial woes seems to take a greater toll on women than men. New data from the American Psychological Association show 84 percent of women are stressed out about the economy, compared with 75 percent of men.

Who paid for that? Send all your moneys directly to Wall Street.

Or better yet, directly to me. I need it for the beer and cigarettes. :beer:
