Abstract
With the objective of clarifying the actual state of stress and overwork in employees in Tokyo, the representative city of Japan, the characteristics of urban outpatients visiting my stress clinic were studied, and countermeasures (anti-stress programs) taken by their companies were inves-tigated by questionnaire. Overwork state in urban workers consisted primarily of psychological fatigue due to job-related stress. The results of the questionnaire revealed that companies are aggressively performing stress management as part of the health care provided to their employees, rather than taking mere countermeasures against disease, such as psy-chosis.
