Out Of The Depths: Combating Depression In The Workplace

The World Health Organization of the United Nations proposed that Depression would be the leading cause of disease burden by 2020...and it absolutely was.
Untreated Depression is costly - personally, corporately and socially. We know that mental health claims are the fastest growing category of disability costs and that the workplace is an important venue for detection, support and connection to treatment.
