Depression in the workplace
"Everyone feels 'blue' or sad from time to time. It's
a normal life experience. But when these emotions increase
in intensity, persist for more than a few weeks, and start
to interfere with a person's life, it may signal depression.
No amount of 'cheering up' can make the depression go away;
no amount of exercise, vitamins or vacation can make it disappear.
That's because depression is an illness, not a weakness."
To find out more about the impact of undiagnosed depression,
recognizing the signs, and how to seek help for yourself or
someone you know, read the rest of the Canadian Mental Health
Association fact sheet: Depression
