我们分析了两项全国性调查的数据，以估计与三十天重度抑郁症相关的短期工作障碍。研究发现，患有抑郁症的员工在 30 天内的短期无法工作天数比其他员工多 1.5 至 3.2 天，相当于工资的生产力损失平均在 182 至 395 美元之间。这些工作场所成本几乎与成功抑郁症治疗的直接成本一样大，这表明鼓励抑郁症工人接受治疗对于一些雇主来说可能具有成本效益。
We analyzed data from two national surveys to estimate the shortterm work disability associated with thirty-day major depression. Depressed workers were found to have between 1.5 and 3.2 more short-term work-disability days in a thirty-day period than other workers had, with a salary-equivalent productivity loss averaging between $182 and $395. These workplace costs are nearly as large as the direct costs of successful depression treatment, which suggests that encouraging depressed workers to obtain treatment might be cost-effective for some employers.
