Low Mood and Depression Affect How You Function at Work, But They Are Not The Same. Here’s Why!

Employment Rights Online: The Podcast

Hi everyone

We hope you are being treated with the support and understanding that all employees and workers need, to make the grind of the daily job, more bearable.

In this week’s podcast episode, we delve a little deeper into an increasingly live issue that affects the workforce - and it’s the issue of working whilst feeling unhappy. We do this by looking at the differences between low mood, being in a bad mood and depression. The numbers of people at work, with depression, are increasing, so in this episode, we support you to have an understanding of some of the symptoms for low mood and depression, so you are able to decide whether you may need additional support.

We’ve included a link to the NHS adult IAPT website, where you can find more information about available talking therapies in your areas and we’ve also included a link to an online NHS feelings test that you can take to help you understand your feelings.

You can find all our other support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this week’s episode; and, remember you can help us by sharing our podcast information with your friends and colleagues.

Bye for now.
