Mental Health Declining

Whether you already deal with a mental health issue or not, staying in a work scenario you hate is catastrophic and can subsequently lead to mental health consequences, especially if you feel obliged to stay. Research from the Human Relations journal, as Business News Daily reports, found that those who stayed at companies because they felt obligated or couldn’t find other job opportunities were more likely to experience exhaustion, stress, and burnout. In addition, “this feeling of indebtedness and a loss of autonomy are emotionally draining over time,” per one of the study’s researchers. All of these factors lead directly to mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
