		<description><![CDATA[Following a conference about Stress Illness in Ann Arbor, MI in March 2009, a small but diverse group of medical clinicians, mental health practitioners and people with stress illness began discussing ways to improve the diagnosis and treatment. After putting on another conference in Los Angeles in March, 2010 (attended by 200 health care professionals) [...]]]></description>
