• Three stress-related disorders - chronic pain, hypertension, and headache - are estimated to account for 54 percent of the absences, or 15.7 billion of the  $30 billion.
  
• It is estimated that 60 percent to 90 percent of all visits to health care professionals are  for stress related disorders.
  
• It has been estimated that stress disorders presently cost U.S. industry as much as $150 billion a year due to the decreased productivity resulting from diminished functionality, disability and absenteeism.  That figure exceeds the combined profits of the Fortune 500.
