Is Depression Inhibiting Your Ability to Work?

In Alberta, the legal framework recognizes that the capacity to work extends far beyond the mere endurance of daily tasks. It prompts a pivotal inquiry: "What standards of performance are reasonably expected of an employee?" This perspective acknowledges the multifaceted challenges individuals may face in maintaining employment, particularly when their health conditions impact cognitive functions or emotional stability.
Navigating the workplace can become exceedingly arduous when conditions such as depression disrupt concentration, memory retention, or emotional regulation. Everyday setbacks can morph into daunting hurdles to overcome, especially in the throes of depressive episodes.
Depression manifests in various forms among individuals. While some may experience reactive depression triggered by life events, which often resolves over time or with appropriate interventions, others contend with chronic clinical depression, enduring for extended periods, sometimes months or longer.
