I quit the company four times due to depression .
I got news that a study by the University of Toyama found that there was a relationship between work and depressive symptoms in workers, so I looked it up ... well, what is this?
The research team used data from about 2,000 civil servants, who are regularly surveyed, to find out how work stress and satisfaction affect the onset and recovery of depressive symptoms. We used an index called CES-D to diagnose depressive symptoms, and judged the depressive state from the scores obtained from the answers to the questionnaire.
Compared to the year after the analysis began, we examined people who had recovered from depression and those who had newly become depressed, and identified where the switch between depression and recovery was. As a result, it was found that the cause of depression one year later was " dissatisfaction with work, " "short sleep," and "unmarried."
It was also found that recovery from depression is hindered by difficulties in " work discretion, " " work demand, " and "chronic illness."

I don't know what I'm talking about in a moment, but in summary, " I understand why I get depressed at work and how I get better! It's easy to get depressed when I'm dissatisfied with my work, and it's rewarding to work. I! "depression is likely to heal and there 's gonna be.
"There was also a result that recovery from depression is possible in a relatively short period of one year," but it is a subjective story whether one year feels short or long.
I think it's "long" just by listening to it, but if it's completely cured, I think it's "somewhat fast". I've been with depression for about 8 years now.
What is the degree of discretion and demand for work?
It is said that depression is difficult to recover if you have difficulty in " work discretion " and " work demand". What are "discretion" and "demand"?
Discretion
・ You can decide the order and method of
your work
・You can work at your own pace ・You can reflect your opinion in the work policy of the workplace
Demand
・ I have to do a lot of work ・ I
can't
finish the work in time ・ I have to work hard
In other words, in a work environment where you can control your own work, it seems that stress is less and recovery from depression recovers, but "That's right!" "In such a workplace, you won't get depressed in the first place! " What this I think you enter the total tsukkomi.
You just research and investigate that the results are clear, give evidence, and make a fool of yourself. No, it's a selfish imagination if you have a bad face, I'm sorry.
I want managers to keep in mind a healthy working environment
After all, it is impossible for people who suffer from depression to actively improve the work environment that caused the depression. There is no such energy or motivation, and if you can actively work on such things, you will not get depressed in the first place.
For people with depression, it is important to change the environment and take a rest slowly, either by taking a leave of absence from the environment that caused the depression or by leaving the job.
In order to prevent the creation of depressed employees, it is necessary for business owners nationwide to improve their work environment. I know that it is natural for a capitalist society to pursue profits by business owners, but it is the people who make profits after all. A company that doesn't take good care of those "people" is not needed by society!
Also, business owners all over the country, why don't you take a light look at depression?
Depression is a deadly illness.
Recognize it as a serious illness such as leukemia or cancer.
Thank you.
Self-control and resilience to increase discretion
When it comes to work discretion, not only is it a passive attitude like how good a job can be given, but it is also possible to actively start work with the feeling of "wanting to do it", that is, to improve self-control and train mentally. And even if you don't like your job, if you get the feeling that you are moving at your own discretion, you will have more discretion, which will help prevent depression.
I will post links to related articles, so if you are interested, please read them as well.
It is also recommended to train "resilience" that turns negative thoughts into repulsive forces.
