Job Loss Depression
Content: 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. Using the above example, you can see how job loss depression can escalate throughout the period of the person's unemployment. In addition to the financial and relational strain that job loss causes, individuals usually suffer from feelings of insecurity, inferiority, and suffer from low self-esteem. They also may suffer from feelings of uncertainty about their current and future job stability. These feelings, associated with job loss depression, can last up to two years even if they have become gainfully employed. In addition to the emotional impact of job loss depression, studies have proven job loss depression can also influence a person's physical health as well.
