Stress
Stress shows itself in a range of ways. The most common form of stress is a mix of anxiety and depression. You might find that you only feel anxious or depressed but never both. But it is more common to find both around at the same time. We can add into this mix other things such as panic, anger, sleep and drink problems. Social factors and physical health must also be taken into account. These can feed each other. Put these all together and we are talking about Stress.

Mental Illness
If all of us have mental health, some of us can have mental illness. This would be conditions such as schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder (this used to be called manic-depression). These are called psychotic illnesses. These are not related to anxiety and depression (although, like anyone else, people who suffer from psychosis can suffer from stress).
