Although there are several causes like emotional factors, family circumstances, and medical factors that drive depression, the workplace can also be one of the reasons for that. Long working hours, lack of motivation, lack of social support, less or no appreciation, job insecurity, harassment at the workplace, and discrimination are some of the reasons which cause depression at work.  Working remotely is associated with a high risk of depression as there increases the conflict between personal life and professional life and affects the work-life balance.
