A new series focusing on stress in Ireland starts tonight on RTÉ One. Stressed will look at the science behind the issue and how it negatively impacts on Irish lives. The two-part series, presented by journalist Jennifer O'Connell will look at experts helping volunteers drawn from across the country to cope and manage their stress. In the first episode, we meet Ger Renton, a full-time carer for her son Ethan who has a rare genetic condition, Hunter's Syndrome. During the documentary Ger opens up about the difficulties of being a carer and the stress she finds herself under.
