Mental health and self-care awareness has become a more critical focal point in society since the onset of the pandemic. Researchers from the University of Michigan suggest that working 90 or more hours a week was associated with depression symptom scores three times larger than the change in depression symptoms among those working 40 to 45 hours a week. The study also found that a higher percentage of those who work more hours have scores that align with a moderate to a severe depression diagnosis.
