If you ask most people, they'll probably tell you that work is what causes, not helps their depression. However, researchers have found that employees who take place in workplace intervention programs often have fewer symptoms, and are more likely to recover.
And these programs are often just as beneficial to employers. Intervention helps lessen the severity of workers' depression -- thus increasing productivity while the employees find help, and work towards recovery.
Seeing as the World Health Organization estimates that 121 million people suffer from depression worldwide, which leads to tens of billions of dollars lost every year in worker productivity, it only makes sense that companies should start seeking out, and giving assistance to employees who need help.
