Depression and Your Career

Depression is a mental health issue that can adversely affect all aspects of a person's life. For some, it can be difficult to admit or realize that they are suffering from depression, especially if it is a recent development. If you or others close to you have noticed a negative change in your behavior, either gradually or suddenly, you may be afflicted with depression. There are some key signs that can indicate the onset of depression. Learning these common signs and how to deal with depression early could help you save your career.

It is estimated that approximately 8 percent of the American population suffers from depression. Some people have a predisposition towards depression from a young age, while others experience depression later in life. If you find it hard to concentrate on your job, begin to cry uncontrollably at work, experience insomnia, or have frequent self-deprecating thoughts, you may be among the 17 million Americans struggling with depression. Sadly, many people afflicted with depression find it difficult to work and may quit their jobs or be fired because they have trouble being productive.

Sometimes depression can be triggered by a tragic event in life, being unhappy with your life, or even by certain drugs and medications. Recent studies show that Chantix, an anti-smoking drug, has caused some patients to develop severe cases of depression and suicidal thoughts.

If you are taking Chantix and have experienced a sudden onset of depression, the drug manufacturer Pfizer may be liable and you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, counseling sessions, anti-depression drug costs, lost wages from losing your job, and pain and suffering caused by taking Chantix.
