Depression not just stress !

[Obriens3]

How many times do I have to sit down with my boss and explain to him I'm not suffering from stress at work but clinical depression!!!! Yes added stress at work does not help but it's not the underlying issue grrrrr!

Hi in my experience stress plays a large part in depression and you might find that it does impact on your illness though I know it is not the main issue. I think what your boss is trying to do is to find out how to help you at work, which shows a good boss.

Management these days are aware that stress is a big factor in work performance whether you have depression or not.

Unfortunately they are not aware usually of how to help with depression and it is up to you to tell him how he can help and what you need, if anything.

Good luck with it. x

Thank you. You are probably right I seem to be over reacting to things at the moment and taking everything the wrong way.
