THANK you StarHealth for the column by Dr YLM on how to manage stress, and I am sure it is very helpful to many (“Tips to manage stress”, Tell Me About, Nov 13; look for Dr YLM’s columns at TheStar.com.my on Thursdays).
However, I think stress management, together with anxiety and depression, is a much more complex issue than can be dealt with through exercise, meditation and talking to empathetic friends or family members. The continuous roiling of the brain due to uncontrolled and uncontrollable life situations requires a stronger effort from society and government to deal with.
