Mental health and rapid societal evolution: an occupational prevention challenge

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The World Health Organization has identified common mental disorders as the leading cause of global disability. The focus on productivity and technology in Western societies generates work-related stress and social pressures, negatively affecting mental health and complicating social skills development and family support in the developmental ages. Addressing these issues is crucial for occupational medicine, as they intersect with broader mental health challenges, highlighting the need for integrated approaches to prevent and manage psychological distress.
