Depression is a common mental illness that affects nearly 10 percent of employees. It is a treatable, medical condition — not a personal weakness. Unfortunately, employees tend to explain away depression or blame it on other things, when in fact it is treatable disease of the brain. Every employee at one point or another will experience sadness or the “blues”, but major depression is a serious medical condition requiring professional diagnosis and treatment. Employees can stay depressed for years, acquire dysfunctional ways of coping with it, and place the employer at risk for losses to productivity, higher absenteeism, and higher costs to health care from medical problems associated with major depression.
