Depression experienced by individuals in a profession is largely
dependent on the kind of pressure they face. This can be related
to the responsibilities laid on them, the time frames in which
they work or the amount of control they have over a situation.
Organizational psychologists state that in addition to this,
monotony can contribute to feelings of depression. According to
literature on psychology, depression is chiefly characterized by
severe and persistent low moods (depression), loss of pleasure
in activities previously enjoyed (anhedonia), lack of appetite,
chronic fatigue and disturbances in sleep pattern. This can be
accompanied by suicidal ideations, a reduction in motor activity
and feelings of worthlessness and guilt. Here is a list of jobs
