The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) does collect and publish stats about illness types by (civilian) profession, including stress-related illnesses. Look at http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/causdis/stress/ for more info on that. Teaching regularly figures in the top 5, with about 2-3% stress-related illness rates. Military jobs are excluded from HSE stats but iirc also showed high rates last time I looked.
Whether there is a US equivalent repository I don't know.

Information regarding stress at teachers is in no way conveniently from ,but this can be observed the teachers attitude,performance his basic nature & behavior between the earlier stage & the present stage of stree behavior .
If one has logical thinking & behavior of teacher,he can certainly draw a line of demarcation .A teacher under the stress can be effiectively viewed on the face of the teachers as we all know that the face is a mirror .
Besides such teachers in their performance also can be noticed while they speak & deliver the talk to the students & also in their regular functioning .
There is a study of teacher stress in Cuban teachers and another work that I can humbly recommend.
