There is an extremely small percentage of leaders and individuals who are not affected by stress. They only worry when they don't have anything to worry about.

However, by far, the greatest percentage of leaders and individuals are affected by stress. We have seen, throughout history, leaders succumbing to illnesses brought about by stress such as ulcers, strokes and so on.

However there are very few leaders and individuals who keep fighting stress and give an order to their subconscious not to allow stress to manifest itself by disabling some organ or other. These leaders and individuals keep going regardless of the enormity of stress and then catastrophe happens, the brain will not be able to resist any more and it breaks down and a mental illness develops. So those who succumb to certain mental illnesses are really the strongest as they kept stress from manifesting itself in some other organ.

Therefore we should not look negatively at people who suffer from certain mental illnesses.
