Her heart sank. Her mom was in bed, crying yet again. Portia poked her head in the door. “What’s wrong, Ma?” she asked. “Nothing,” her mom replied, pulling the covers up, embarrassed that Portia was seeing her distraught. “No, please tell me,” Portia said. She knew it was not all that healthy to serve as her mom’s confidante. She also knew her mom didn’t have anyone else to talk to, so she insisted. Her mom paused. “Well, I just feel so bad. If it wasn’t for your father’s income, I’d be homeless on the street. I can’t take care of myself.” “No you wouldn’t end up on the street, Ma” she said quietly, trying to sound sure of her statement. “We’d find a way.” [Read More](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/taxes-getting-you-down-dealing-with-finances-and-depression) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/taxes-getting-you-down-dealing-with-finances-and-depression#comments-listing) Topics: [Depression](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/topic/depression), [Stress](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/topic/stress), [Finances](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/topic/finances) ## [TMS Therapy to Aid in Depression Treatment for Work-Related Stress](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/tmstherapy-to-aid-in-depression-treatment-for-work-related-stress) Posted by [Stephanie Dodaro](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/author/stephanie-dodaro) on Nov 4, 2015 10:47:23 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/hubfs/Stressed_worker_and_doctor.jpg)](https://info.mindfulhealthsolutions.com/blog/tmstherapy-to-aid-in-depression-treatment-for-work-related-stress) Increasingly demanding conditions in the American workplace have resulted in an increase in work-related stress. Left unchecked, chronic job stress can lead to illnesses including anxiety or depression. For state workers already prone to depressive episodes, or those managing major depression, the pressure of the workplace can induce episodes or worsen existing symptoms. Fortunately, there are a number of treatment options, including a revolutionary, non-invasive therapy called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which has proven incredibly effective, especially for patients who don’t respond to other remedies.

American employees have found themselves dealing with longer hours, heavier workloads, expectations of 24/7 connectivity, job insecurity, poor organizational support, stagnating wages, and a higher cost of living. It’s no wonder that 29 percent of workers in a recent Yale survey reported that they were "quite a bit or extremely stressed" at work. California state employees, in addition, also face a unique set of workplace challenges. For the California government worker, the 2008 recession brought massive budget cuts, reorganization, and uncertainty. While the economy has stabilized, workers are experiencing a reduction in benefits, such as requirement to pay ahead for retiree health care. California's first-ever survey of California state workers, completed in August 2015, indicated that while employees generally feel that they do important work, they are underappreciated by management.

They got so bad that Alex would often wake up in the middle of the night. While waiting for the pain relievers to kick in, he got into the habit of responding to work emails on his phone. Then Alex began to come home later and later, and just pick at his meals. Monica began to wonder if he ever slept. Could it actually be his job that was making him ill?
