NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - If your boss doesn't listen to you and the work keeps piling up, you may be on a collision course with depression, according to a new report from the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, in Baltimore, Maryland. ``Not having much say at work and a having a high workload increases the occurrence of a condition known as job strain,'' co-author Dr. William W. Eaton said in an interview with Reuters Health. ``Somebody with high job strain is five times more likely to have a depressive disorder compared to someone with low job strain.''
Eaton and lead author Dr. Hilde Mausner-Dorsch interviewed 905 people living in Baltimore who worked full time jobs, including secretaries, teachers, construction workers, and executives. The study appears in the November issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
The subjects, who were originally interviewed in 1981 and again during the mid-1990s, self-reported information about their jobs and answered questions that assessed depression.
Eaton discussed the three types of depression: dysphoria, the mildest form, in which a person ``has feelings of sadness the last no longer than 2 weeks;'' depressive syndrome, the moderate form; and major depressive episode. All three were associated with job stress.
Depression is marked by changes in eating and sleeping; loosing interest in things previously found enjoyable; fatigue; and thoughts of guilt and suicide, among other characteristics.
``While high job stress increased ones risk for being depressed, our study found that there was a slightly stronger association for women to become depressed than men,'' Eaton told Reuters Health. ``The bottom line is that job strain, which has been previously associated to heart disease, is also linked to depression.''
