Is stress killing IT professionals ......

Thats a great question to ask. yeah i do accept that the people doing software or IT related jobs are stressed and they don't have enough time to regather their energy to face the next week. this puts lots of mental and physical stress and over burden. it also leads to diseases like repeated stress syndrome, they call it RSS. some have their finger in pain, for some their back or neck is in pain and for some their spine is in pain. also lets not forget the eyes which is strained to see a close by object at a particular distance for a long time. this affects the eyes. this might even force one to have glasses. Of course there are exercise and other treatment methods, other than taking medicines which can be used to overcome and handle these problems. but as long as you keep doing the same job, these problems will continue to persist. Are all these required and how are the present generation people going to handle this in a fast paced life? This is the big question facing the present generation.
