A catastrophic injury could bring physical suffering, serious depression, or other mental injuries. Depression is often life-changing, and its effects can be devastating.nnIt is not uncommon for people who experience a workplace injury to refrain from looking into Workers’ Compensation for a mental health condition. Getting back to work is usually the priority. Moreover, depression is often hidden due to a fear of criticism, a lack of understanding, not knowing if compensation is possible, or all of the above.
