Stress is an element of life that everyone has to deal with whether it is at work or even around the house.

Clinical Director with the Shelby County Community Services Ed Lacheta says stress cannot be avoided, where we really get in trouble is how we deal with stress.

Lacheta says a little bit of stress can be a good thing and go along way in raising awareness and motivation.

Lacheta appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show live from our downtown Shelbyville studios.
