abstract="This article explores depression in social workers, examines the potential negative professional consequences-that is, impairment-and investigates the personal and occupational variables associated with depression. One thousand active NASW members were anonymously surveyed as a part of the study &quot;Work and Well-Being: A Study of North Carolina Social Workers,&quot; which explored a variety of health, work, and personal variables. The study found that 19% of the sample scored above the threshold on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale measuring depressive symptoms, 16% had seriously considered suicide at some time in their lives, 20% were currently taking medication for depression, and 60% self-evaluated as depressed either currently or at some time in the past. Both occupational and personal variables were related to depressive symptoms. © 2004, National Association of Social Workers, Inc.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
