These are the most depressing jobs in America, according to a new study

For some, the emotional cost of a salary is strong.

A new study suggests that workers in certain industries have a significant probability of depression and frequent mental distress.

Researchers say that findings should serve as an alarm clock for employers to rethink how to design mental health benefits for their employees.

In the study, researchers analyzed the survey data from the survey of more than half a million North -American workers collected between 2015 and 2019.

Of these, an impressive 80,319 claimed to have been diagnosed with depression at some point in his life. The women diagnosed twice the rate of men.

Some industries stood out as especially faint for the mental health of workers.

Community and social service employees reported the highest rates of depression diagnosed all over their lives, with the preparation of food and at the service of workers nearby.

It is also elevated to the list: workers in arts, entertainment, sports and media, followed by healthcare support, retail, education and library support services.

Next to the Flip, mining workers and construction reported the lowest rates of depression diagnosed all over their lives.

But you still don’t take a hard hat.

These same industries have the highest suicide rate among U.S. adult workers, and these numbers have constantly increased since 2000.

Researchers suggested that the gap could be because both fields are dominated by men and men may be more likely to seek help for mental health problems.

This, theorized, could be due to factors such as stigma or lack of accessible services, especially in rural or remote areas where many of these jobs are based.

Dr. Manish Sapra, executive director of the Northwell Health Behavioral Health Services Line, called the “meaningful” study.

By responding to the findings, he emphasized that some industries must have tailor -made support systems for workers with a higher risk of mental health challenges related to their work.

“With anything we do about the well-being or mental health for employees, entrepreneurs must customize these benefits and solutions for their specific population and not just choose something from the shelf and give it as a benefit,” he told The Post.

In Northwell Health, Sapra said that health workers often deal with intense trauma and emotional stress to witness first -hand suffering.

To solve it, the healthcare system developed specialized support systems, including a peer support network and a first aid frame to help employees recognize stress in themselves and others.

“We have also developed extended access to mental health services for our employees, which really helps them to help them when they need it,” Sapra said. “We have developed some digital technology to do it, basically giving access to employees at the touch of a button.”

For other entrepreneurs, Sapra emphasized the importance of fighting barriers such as stigma, cost and language that prevent workers from seeking care.

He added that mental health services must be available when employees can use them, for example, offering night hours for daytime shifts.

Sapra said that companies can further improve access by taking advantage of digital technologies that allow workers to connect with the telehealth services from anywhere.
