Causes of Depression – Occupational Causes

Although having too little of the chemical called serotonin that makes people feel happy was considered to be one reason why people become depressed, the way that work is organised is considered to be a greater cause of depression. In 2011 Gallup found some 63% of people said they are “not engaged” with their job, which is defined as “sleepwalking through their workday”. Some 24% are “actively disengaged”: they hate it.Lack of control over one’s work is associated with higher levels of stress, and consequently, higher levels of depression. In summary the most important thing in treating depression is to address the situation that is causing it.

Depression Help

Many people find that psychological therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychotherapy and counselling are effective in treating their depression. Often both changes of lifestyle and psychological therapy are required to treat depression. For mild depression that does not resolve itself some individuals find antidepressants (prescribed by a GP) and psychological therapy most successful. For major depression, both psychological therapy and antidepressants are typically used together. Reading a self-help book or joining a support group are also worthwhile. They can help you gain a better understanding about what causes you to feel depressed. Sharing your experiences with others in a similar situation can also be very supportive.Keeping active often helps depression as activity releases the natural hormones in your body that make you feel happy. Other changes such as getting enough sleep can help, as well as eating a healthy diet. Meditation and self-help books are also useful.If you think you might have depression you should speak to your GP first. As your GP to complete an NHS depression test.
