Working and feeling productive provides financial and social guarantees as well as a means of structuring and occupying time. Certain elements of the workplace can also exacerbate depression or anxiety. Rather than struggling on, it can be better to ask for time off to recover, people can be worried about what their boss and colleagues will think if they talk about having conditions like depression. I’m sure that the researchers write, By any measure, employees with depression did worse than those in the comparison groups. Fact, better support from employers and ‘coworkers’ is found to be linked to lower depression scores. This is where it starts getting very serious, right? Considerable worry can arise, if work starts to feel unfulfilling and negative. Then again, social anxiety, or social phobia, can be particularly debilitating at work. Anxiety disorders can also be exacerbated by the work environment.
While being watched by others, public speaking, and similar situations, the condition is characterized by social withdrawal, caused by a fear of talking in groups. Anxiety about planning to work can become quite strong. Mental health conditions can also impair a person’s ability to socialize normally. In studies, those with depression tend to report more negative than positive social interactions and to react more strongly to them. You should take this seriously. Experts suggest that depression sensitizes people to everyday experiences of social rejection. In lab studies, clinically depressed people give more attention to sad faces, adjectives, and emotional words. Researchers say that clinicians and therapists must recognize that some part of this bleak, social landscape is created through clients’ interpretations of events, and problems. Bipolar disorder can also have a negative impact on a person’s work, family and social life, beyond the acute phases of the illness. High levels of unemployment are reported by many with bipolar disorder.
Well informed, supportive relatives can play a significant role in recovery.
