SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – Four in 10 Americans in the workforce say their jobs have had a negative effect on their mental health, according to a national study by Gallup.
Seven percent reported “extremely” negative effects on their mental health, and 33 percent said their job had a “somewhat” negative effect. Young workers aged 18 to 29 were the most likely to experience mental health problems due to their jobs, with nearly half affected.
Dr. Abigail Johnson of the Johnson Behavioral Group met with KSLA on Thursday, November 10 to discuss this topic. Some of the topics she covered include:
- How anxieties at work present themselves and what it looks like
- The long-term impact of negative feelings
- Solutions people can use to improve their mental health at work
