Some workers are more prone to depression than others.
Millennials working outside a full-time, corporate office are particularly vulnerable to depression, according to a University of Exeter review of 28,438 worker reports on mental health. The review found people working irregular hours and the night shift are 33% more likely to develop a mental illness than the general population.
This is especially true for first responders and healthcare workers, who tend to be "on call" during inconvenient hours. A recent Huffington Post article retailed how EMTs and paramedics have higher rights of PTSD, depression, and suicide — conditions that persist even after retirement.
Harassment and bullying at work can also cause mental health problems, according to the World Health Organization, issues that tends to plague female, racial minority, and LGBTQ workers more often.
