Depression that affects women in the work force is a major issue that cannot be ignored. A recent study of the workforce concluded that billion a year in productivity is lost due to depression. If this is the case, then the medical costs to treat depression must be staggering. The lost productivity costs were from absenteeism and from those who are going to work depressed and getting little done. The recent study also found that working women seem especially vulnerable to depression while on the job.

Depression on the job can lead to missed meetings, unreturned phone calls, blankly staring at the computer screen, indecision, late arrival, leaving early and missed deadlines. In addition, a working woman suffering from depression while at work might not get along very well with colleges anymore or she may withdraw from social involvement.

Please help! 10 points for best!

If people see a young girl with a baby…they look at her with disdain…or ridicule. I always thought that was funny..because her OTHER option is abortion..and if she goes through with that..what has she accomplished? Living in misery with her shame, not being able to tell ANYONE, having people bash her for that?

Then there are other women in general who are completely RIPPED apart about their pregnancies or abortions. As if it’s NOT bad enough being a woman without being pregnant…now..we hold the blame for pregnancy and ANY decision regarding it….yet SOOOOOO many women I know are abused and exploited…they are pressured into an abortion and violated in the WORST WAY POSSIBLE. No one lends them a hand when they need the support. It’s not enough to say “She should have been strong…things will work out…adoption…etc.”. I don’t think some people understand how mentally vulnerable you are when you are pregnant…I know….It was AMAZING how vulnerable I was…looking back on it..I couldn’t believe how weak I was…it’s SCARY..especially when you don’t have ANY support AND someone pressuring you. I have seen the strongest women taken advantage of. By family…men…clinics…etc. But what makes it the absolute WORST is that the people who bash women are…OTHER WOMEN. How sad is this? It breaks my heart. Women go through SO much & we waste our time being hateful and hypocritical.
