Work pressure sparks the blues

New research shows that a high-pressure job doubles the risk of anxiety and depression in young adults. Working long hours, a high volume of work, and working towards non-negotiable deadlines can put you at risk.

Take action:Here's how to reduce the pressure: make sure that your job description is clear so that you know exactly what your responsibilities are;
-don't cause unnecessary stress by coming late or being unprepared for meetings;
-don't get involved in office politics - it just takes up time and energy;
-if you feel you're being treated unfairly, do something about it by going through the right
channels;
-you have a right to be involved in decisions that affect you at work, and you can ask for this;
-if your job has become a test of endurance and you hate every day, accept that you may not be
able to change things from within - get your CV together and start looking for something else.
