Depression may be harder to treat in people with high-status jobs than it is in people whose positions are on lower levels of the corporate ladder, a new study suggests.
Researchers studied how 650 people in Belgium, Italy, Israel and Austria responded to treatments for depression. About half (56 percent) of the 336 patients with high-status jobs didn’t experience fewer depressive symptoms after undergoing two rounds of different antidepressants and psychotherapy. About 40 percent of people with mid- to low-level jobs showed a poor response to the treatment, according to research presented last month at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Congress in Vienna.
