Job Loss Depression
Content: It can have long-lasting effects on the individual, sometimes lasting as long as two years. Job loss depression is not solely caused by the single event of losing one's job. The loss of employment can trigger a series of events, called a "cascade of negative life events." For example, the loss of employment almost always means financial stress will follow. The financial difficulties may hinder one from being able to make their car payment. The car may be repossessed - a negative life event. Without transportation, finding new employment becomes very difficult - another negative life event. The longer one is unemployed the more financial difficulties one may experience. In addition, one may have lost healthcare benefits. This in turn, makes caring for others with health problems extremely difficult, thus putting more strain on their relationships.
