I agree that it can be abused or over diagnosed, but in general I think health problems due to workplace stress (and for most people it keeps getting worse) are not given their due. It's like we have to wait until there is a serious problem that has already manifested before anyone will do anything about it. Until then, keep slaving away; the floggings will continue until morale improves.
