Depression is one of the costliest and most disabling illnesses worldwide ( World Health Organization, 2018 World Health Organization Depression. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depressionDate: 2018 Google Scholar ). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 350 million people worldwide are affected by depression, leading to over 800,000 suicides each year ( World Health Organization, 2018 World Health Organization Depression. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depressionDate: 2018 Google Scholar ). Major depression symptoms include memory loss, lack of focus, irritability and cognitive dysfunction, leading to substantial societal and economic costs ( McIntyre et al., 2013 McIntyre R.S. Cha D.S. Soczynska J.K. Woldeyohannes H.O. Gallaugher L.A. Kudlow P. Baskaran A. Cognitive deficits and functional outcomes in major depressive disorder: Determinants, substrates, and treatment interventions. Depression and Anxiety. 2013; 30: 515-527https://doi.org/10.1002/da.22063 Crossref PubMed Scopus (412) Google Scholar ; Probst et al., 2007 Probst J.C. Laditka S.B. Moore C.G. Harun N. Powell M.P. Race and ethnicity differences in reporting of depressive symptoms. Administration and Policy in Mental Health. 2007; 34: 519-529https://doi.org/10.1007/s10488-007-0136-9 Crossref PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar ). The direct cost of depression rose from approximately $173.2 billion to $210.5 billion between 2005 and 2010 ( Greenberg et al., 2015 Greenberg P.E. Fournier A.-A. Sisitsky T. Pike C.T. Kessler R.C. The economic burden of adults with major depressive disorder in the United States (2005 and 2010). The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. 2015; 76: 155-162https://doi.org/10.4088/JCP.14m09298 Crossref PubMed Scopus (889) Google Scholar ), and the estimation is expected to be higher when chronic diseases related to depression are considered ( Hankerson et al., 2015 Hankerson S.H. Lee Y.A. Brawley D.K. Braswell K. Wickramaratne P.J. Weissman M.M. Screening for depression in African-American churches.

Individuals suffering from depression-associated symptoms are less productive at work and in their personal lives, have decreased energy, feel they receive inadequate support from supervisors, and have lower concentration when trying to perform job-related tasks ( Bertilsson et al., 2013 Bertilsson M. Petersson E.L. Ostlund G. Waern M. Hensing G. Sallis A. Birkin R. Experiences of work and sickness absence in employees with depression: An interpretative phenomenological analysis.
