i think because we have "easy ways" to get things.
and in that way we want allways much more.
Its the same with Cell Phones, now we stress a lot and make 2 calls before we arrive somewhere or while we wait, just because we can do it. Its an stress factor.

People feel more stressed due to various reasons:
1. They dont find enough free time.
2. They dont feel they are spending their free time properly!
3. People lose interest in their jobs.
4. People are going through menopausal period.
5. Prices have gone up.
In other words, people in modern society are feeling strained due to a variety of pressures confronting them, which they never experienced in previous decades!
The solution is yoga or relaxation techniques.
Calming Pills are OK, but only advisable for short term usage, like a few days or a week.

i think its the speed of life and the way in which we have been conditioned to think of competition as a good thing

People are more stressed nowadays because of the pressure to always have the best, trying to do too many things in a day, trying to keep up with the world.

I think a lot of people have many factors of contributing to their stress. Mine is "time" I feel like I have no time to do most things and when I do, I just want to sleep! Busy lives are another issue people deal with too. It just depends on the person

It's a fast life we live now. Pills is not a solution. Meditation, exercise, or a hobby will help.

There is much more going on. People want things done now now NOW. There was stress in the olden days but probably not as bad as today and it wasn't talked about as much.

Cut throat competition has made jobs insecure. There is no guarantee that what is here today will last tomorrow. If you have your own establishment then there are 100 factors for stress.
People accumulate stress but don't release it. Pills are not the solution.
Individually we have to make certain resolutions like. I can live with in this limit of income. I will try to be at one place and be steadyEtc
Practice yoga and pranayaama tio release stress.

I know I am more stressed nowadays, because of rising utilities costs, groceries, taxes etc...
Seems the bills don't stop.
