Dangers of Your Desk Job

More money, ensuring job security, pleasing clients — there are plenty of reasons you may work longer hours or take another job. However, overworking can increase the risk of depression. One study found those who had workdays of 11 hours or more were twice as likely to develop major depression compared to someone with an 8-hour workday. Those at risk were also found to consume more alcohol. Other studies show that depression from being overworked may worsen over time.
