Depression at Work: Burnout or Clinical Issue?

[Shree]

WHO lists burnout as an occupational phenomenon, not a mental disorder. Yet symptoms often mirror depression. Should companies offer mandatory mental health days?

At my work place, employees are given one week Wellness Week to relax and unwind. Our health is vital, so we need a break from our work.

My workplace also does that. They also don't allow you to work more that 44 hours a week because they do not want us to get burned out. I'm really enjoying working for the company so far.

This past week i have been dealing with depression in my work, not that am stressed but things are simply not going the way i want them to. I am working on overcoming this though.
