Jobs That May Lead to Depression

Huffington Post offers an interesting slide show about ten types of careers that have high rates of depression.  While this overview is interesting, it doesn’t address a simple question:  Does the job cause the depression?  Some people are prone to depression.  They may tend to take a certain kind of job.  Again, the post is interesting, but don’t take it as anything more. 

If your job is putting you in a bad mood, keeping you up at night, or driving you to tears, your mind and body are sending a message:  it’s time for something new.  No job and no salary can compensate for poor health.  We need to value our lives as much as our jobs.
