The Impact of Depression At Work

An international study reveals Australians hide their depression at work more than employees in other countries, fearing misunderstanding, stigma, and discrimination. ‘Depression is biggest mental health challenge among people of working-age, and the leading cause of disability worldwide,’ explains Jack Heath, CEO of the national mental health charity, SANE Australia.

The Impact of Depression at Work: Australia Audit surveyed 1031 adults aged 16-64 Australia-wide. All workers, including a sub-sample of managers (32%), had worked within the previous 12 months.
