Do women handle stress better than men?

During his research, David found thousands of people committing  sucide everyday as a result of suffering from some types of depression or stress related problems. These are real problems that people shouldn't take for granted. Let us listen to Van's take on Stress in the video below.

Nina slumped over in her chair with her hands across her eyes, crying. She didn't know why she was crying but said " I just feel so sad here lately, and nothing appears to be going my way''.  David then walked up, touched her shoulder and responded " Everything will be okay , can I get you anything?''. Looking up at David with bloodshot eyes she stated " Can you make this feeling go away? I just really need a good friend right now, " and that's when Nina slit both of her veins in her wrist with a box cutter knife and blood flowed. David stood over her in shock with what just happened.


As Nina fell out of the chair onto the floor, David reached in his back pocket for his phone and called an ambulance right away. "Please hang on there, help is on the way," he said. He later found out from her sister Diane that said  "she is going through a state of depression and stress from being harrassed by her co-workers on the job . She was the only female in her department that was Latino and her co-workers constantly bullying, intimidating , mocking and lying to upper management on her. Infact, she had reported them several times, as she attended meetings with supervisors on this matter and nothing had been done to stop the harrassment." 



David came to the hospital to visit  her sometimes when the Doctor approved her visits. He had fancied Nina and wanted to be more than friends , but he didn't want to pressure her. Nina informed her mom on what triggered these events that caused her to hurt herself she said " I felt down , tired and couldn't sleep at night, and after I was being harrassed at work.  I felt like there was no hope , no one cared and the thought of hurting myself raved in my mind. I was lost and had no one to turn to." Her family still live in Mexico and she had just moved to California to start a new life of her own.

Nina was discharged  from the hospital after seeking pyschaitric help.She had time at home to think about what she wanted to do to prevent this from happening to others, both Nina and David teamed up with a Crisis Center to help people in need and went around to organizations discussing the importance of seeking help for  stress/depression and bullying whether at work, home or school. They came up with an idea with making up a bumper sticker that read


Depression /Stress/ Bullying 
 Do be brave / Seek out help/ Build on trust 

   Millions of people reach out to the Crisis Center and purchase the bumper stickers, all their contributed funds went to opening up more Crisis Centers to help people in need. David and Nina finally married and went on to mentor over several Crisis Centers that were open to the public worldwide, at the entrance of every door read, "Your not alone, We're here for you"
