The average American feels like they’re “spinning” from stress 156 times a year, a poll of 2,000 adults found. 41% say they’re experiencing peak stress levels right now, and 38% feel like 2024 has been more stressful than 2023. Respondents are concerned about their finances, the economy, their physical health, and the presidential election. “Half of those surveyed believe that stress is often the main cause of them getting sick,” Kristel Corson of Traditional Medicinals said. “And when asked what season is most stressful, the highest percentage of respondents (26%) said winter given seasonal changes and the holidays.” 71% believe their mental health would improve if they could reduce their stress levels.
