IS YOUR JOB MAKING YOU MISERABLE?

We’ve all been there. The black dog. Sunday 5 o’clock comes around and suddenly we’re overwhelmed by the presence of Monday.

For others however, this feeling is a more regular and crippling problem.

Anxiety and depression is the most common #mentalhealthdisorder in the UK. According to the NHS, approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health issue each year.
