Study: Working overtime can raise depression risk

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Working all that overtime may actually be bad for your mental health.

A new study by British researchers shows logging more than 11-hour days can more than double your risk of depression.

That’s compared to employees who work just eight hours a day.

The findings suggest that the stress of a long work day is a contributing factor to depression.

Researchers also say long hours result in problems with relationships which may trigger depression.
