   The title of our research paper is Stress and depression at workplace. Our main research question is » How stress and depression are reflecting at the workplace«. We will focus on the problem of stress and depression at the workplace.

Today people are exposed to many stressful situations which affect our lives. The most important stressor is the one that people experience during the work. People are often exposed to increased pressures as a greater responsibility and difficulties of work, low wages, bad relationships with colleagues...

 

Stress can be defined as a pattern of a person's physiological, emotional and behavioural response to stimuli that disrupt his or her inner balance.

Depression is a mental disorder which leads to loss of interest and pleasure at work. When people fall into depression and can not see 'the light at the end of the tunnel', it is time for some major changes.
