Goodness me. Sit and think about that for a while.

You're quite right, let's think further about this.
- A person racing to meet their deadlines.
- Another sweating through a difficult meeting.
- A third using some terrible company software for the first time and feeling his blood temperature rise.
- A fourth softsoaping an angry customer over the phone when all he wants to do is tell him where to do.
By your definition, each of these types are undergoing a spasm of mental illness, since work stress is mental illness.
But then your definition is total bollocks.
