You're probably not paying for treatment. Click the little checkmark under the portrait after moving them to a location to pay.

You have to give them a week. Take another group out & do something - they'll (hopefully) be done by the weeks end. Sometimes they get distracted by other things. Either way, when they return, the stress is reduced.

Most of them don't take 100% stress away. If they like something in particular I believe it takes more, but generally I get ~50 stress removed.

If you finish a mission and still have camping gear available, try to camp before going home. Those stress relieving abilities help a LOT. I also find that if you have a new member and they've been stressed to 100 after a single dungeon ... you might consider just tossing them and getting someone new rather than worrying about their stress.

Not every adventurer is worth keeping.

Have you left them for a turn? (a turn being you have been out and done/failed another mission)
or are you paying for them them putting them stright back in your roster? in which case your wasting gold
hope this helps

Yeah basically the flow of the game for this is:

1. Accrue Stress
2. Get back from dungeon and put stressed out folks in treatments of varying types(usually around $1K to $1.5K to treat for the week).
3. Rotate party and go do a quest.
4. Come back to stress relieved guy.

It's why you need about 12 guys, with at least 6 back row folks and 6 front row folks so you can rotate them out as needed. Oh and a cheese way of relieving stress is keeping a stunnable enemy alive in combat and constantly stunning them(helps if they can't do much damage and are fairly weak) while bringing along folks with Stress relief moves(Jester, Leper, Crusader).

Im not going to say what party combo but there is a combination that you can use where you almost never will have to pay to relieve stress. ...assuming your party has the right redundant abiliities...
