- What does this mean for the workplace?
- Freud said some funny things but he did make some astute observations: “ No other technique for the conduct of life attaches the individual so firmly to reality as the emphasis on work; for his work at least gives him a secure place in a portion of reality, in the human community” Marie Jahoda, positive mental health movement, pointed out that work Provides structure, Provides social meaning, Provides opportunity for social interaction , Provides an identity…. Not to mention- provides an income However, multiple studies have demonstrated increasing rates of workplace distress, demoralization and disability e.g. 2002: Health Canada study suggest that there is a work/life imbalance- that the lack of balance is getting worse, especially for middle managers and public sector.
- Work can be very supportive for most people – but for others it can be a source of stress
- Does this mean work or the workplace causes mental illness? Not really, as we do not know the exact cause of any disorders, likely a combination of biogenetic and psychosocial factors which will vary from person to person. But, a psychologically unhealthy work environment can contribute to the onset and severity of a disorder While at the same time, a psychologically healthy environment can prevent the likelihood and minimize the severity of a disorder
- The cycle of addiction. Following the initial exposure to an addictive sub- stance, acquisition of drug taking occurs, in which infrequent drug taking escalates into chronic drug use. Periods of chronic drug use are followed by intervals of withdrawal. These periods of abstinence from the addictive drug can last days, weeks, months, or years. However, most addicts do not remain drug free and relapse back into drug use, creating a vicious cycle. Stress can exacerbate drug taking throughout this process facilitating initial drug exposure, increasing acquisition of drug taking, and causing a relapse to drug-taking behavior during withdrawal.
