Recognising the depressed employee Involved in more accidents, more mistakes, more absenteeism Changes in attitude, behavior and job performance Results in decreased productivity Low moral Lack of co-operation Always tired

Treatment 18-27% of the SA population will have a depressive disorder during the course of their lives 2/3 do not get the help they need. Treatment can alleviate the symptoms in over 80% of cases. Because it often goes unrecognized, depression continues to cause unnecessary suffering.

Treatment Treatment enables people with depression to return to satisfactory, functioning lives Key is to recognize symptoms of depression early and to receive appropriate treatment Medication or psychotherapy, or a combination of the two treatment methods, usually relieves symptoms of depression in weeks. Even the most severe forms of depression can respond to treatment rapidly.

Depression and the Labour Relations Act Depression is as a concern for the WHO, ILO and UN The various LRA dismissal categories, namely incapacity, operational requirements and misconduct have been found not to address the problem of depression in the workplace effectively. Depression is currently being treated as an incapacity, ill health – poor performance, Act 66/1995, schedule 8. Depression should fall within the ambit of the definition of disability in the EEA and thus fall within the Disability Code then gain further protection in terms the Constitution and the LRA The LRA provides that dismissing an employee due to his disability amount to an automatically unfair dismissal.

Conclusion World Health Organization (WHO) states that depression is the leading cause of disability as measured by Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) and the fourth leading contributor to the global burden of disease Depression will be the second leading cause of disease in 2020 (WHO) Depression in the workplace stands as a major occupational health issue that demands to be addressed Corporations must recognize that their single highest mental health (medical) and disability cost is probably depressive disorders However, these costs can be managed effectively by integrating response measures that contain elements of rational benefit design as well as early intervention
