| Abstract |
This literature review examines the relationship between work impairment and disability in the occupational psychiatry context and identifies practical strategies that occupational physicians can apply for screening, managing and appropriate referral of depressive employees. A new and more consistent strategy for identifying impairment severity and its impact on employment, including simple procedures to screen for depression and guidelines to minimize role and boundary confusion, is proposed. |
