• Schizophrenia……Studies have established that schizophrenic patients were more likely to have had jobs, prior to their first episode of the disorder that exposed them to "noisesome" work characteristics (e.g., noise, humidity, heat, cold, etc.). One explanation involving a diathesis-stress model suggests that the job-related stressors helped precipitate the first episode in already-vulnerable individuals (Garrison et.al, 1990).
• Depression……Garrison et.al (1990) found that members of three occupational groups, lawyers, secretaries, and special education teachers showed elevated rates of DSM-III major depression, adjusting for social demographic factors. Other studies indicate that a number of facets of the psychosocial work environment (e.g., low decision latitude, high psychological workload, lack of social support at work, effort-reward imbalance, and job insecurity) increase the risk of common mental disorders such as depression.
• Alcohol disorder……Studies have found that high rates of alcohol abuse and dependence in the construction and transportation industries as well as among waiters and waitresses, controlling for sociodemographic factors. Within the transportation sector, heavy truck drivers and material movers were at especially high risk. Studies confined to male samples found that workers in jobs that combined low control with high physical demands were at increased risk of developing alcohol-related problems.
