Depression and safety in the workplace

Depression is a complex mental health condition characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. It goes beyond the normal fluctuations in mood that everyone experiences, impacting various aspects of an individual’s life. People with depression often find it challenging to carry out routine tasks, maintain relationships, and perform effectively at work or in other areas of life. The condition may also manifest physically, leading to changes in sleep patterns, appetite, and energy levels. Depression is not a sign of personal weakness, and it can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Seeking professional help, is crucial for managing and treating depression, promoting overall well-being and a return to a fulfilling life.
