Depressive disorders in employees and their dependents pose a major occupational health challenge, with implications for productivity, competitiveness, disability program utilization and medical care costs. The following article shows just how big an impact depression has had on the benefit programs of a major Midwestern employer--generating over half of all mental healthcare diagnoses and claims and even more days of disability and 12-month recidivism than chronic physical complaints such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and low back pain.
员工及其家属的抑郁症构成了一项重大的职业健康挑战，对生产力、竞争力、残疾计划利用率和医疗成本都有影响。以下文章展示了抑郁症对一家中西部主要雇主的福利计划产生了多么巨大的影响——在所有心理健康护理诊断和索赔中占比超过一半，甚至比心脏病、糖尿病、高血压和腰背痛等慢性身体疾病导致的残疾天数和12个月内的复发率还要高。
