“…Regarding sex, women generally had worse results; however, when taking into account the changes in the period, there is a greater increase in the prevalence in men. In the literature, it has been described that in periods of crisis or recession, men show a greater increase in risk compared to women [ 7 , 32 , 34 ] and partly explained due to the impact of unemployment as a risk factor of mental health worsening [ 14 ]. These differences may be attributed to the relation between work and social role of the man as main supporter with high family burdens [ 35 ].…”

“…According to a WHO report, the crisis can deteriorate health through reductions in household financial security, especially as a result of job losses [ 8 ]. It has been described that unemployment is the determinant with the most stressing effect in life [ 43 ], which carries multiple health risks [ 7 , 12 , 19 , 34 ], and as the main factor in the appearance of problems such as anxiety, insomnia, depression, and dissociative and self-injurious behaviours that can cause the first mental health problems in a healthy person [ 34 ]. In addition, several studies have shown an increase of a 2–7-fold risk of suffering problems or symptoms associated with depression and anxiety about loss of work [ 7 , 19 ], as well as its detrimental effect over time [ 44 ].…”

Previous research suggests that the economic crisis can affect mental health. The purpose of this study was to analyse the association of risk of poor mental health with various socioeconomic, demographic, health, quality of life, and social support variables; and to evaluate the contribution of socioeconomic variables most affected by the beginning of the economic crisis (employment situation and income) on the changes in the prevalence of the risk of poor mental health between 2005 and 2010. A study of prevalence evolution in adult population residents of the Valencian Community in the Spanish Mediterranean was conducted. We studied 5781 subjects in 2005 and 3479 in 2010. Logistic regression models have been adjusted to analyse the association between variables. A standardisation procedure was carried out to evaluate which part of the changes in overall prevalence could be attributed to variations in the population structure by age, sex, employment status, and income between the years under study. The prevalence of GHQ+ increased from 2005 to 2010, in both men and women. Several variables were closely associated with the risk of poor mental health (sex, age, country of birth, number of nonmental chronic diseases, social support, disability, cohabitation in couple, employment status, and income). The changes produced as a result of the onset of the economic crisis in income and unemployment (increase in low income and in unemployment rates) contributed to the increase of poor mental health risk. This could confirm the sensitivity of mental health to the economic deterioration caused by the crisis.

“…Moreover, it has been proven enough that re-employment, which is, becoming employed for a person who did not have a job but was willing to work, reduces the symptoms previously described and re-establishes the psychosocial level of workings prior to being unemployed [13]. Also, according to Espino [14] being unemployed is considered to multiply by five the risk of suffering a psychiatric illness if that person does not receive unemployment benefits when compared with employed people.…”

Having a job is an essential part of people’s development. Unemployment, on the contrary, is one of the most frustrating experiences of life with greater psychological consequences for people’s lives. In this sense, psychology has contributed to an increase in knowledge about the personal and social experience of unemployment. This article discusses indicators of anxiety and depression in unemployed people, modulating socio-demographic variables, and coping strategies involved in the higher and lower levels of anxiety and depression. For this, a sample of 244 unemployed people who are users of the Career Service Centre of the Andalusian Public Employment Service of the city of Huelva is used for a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study. The results show that only 5.7% of the participants do not have depressive symptoms. With regards to anxiety levels, 41.3% of participants have no anxiety. Unemployed people with high anxiety and depression scores have developed maladaptive coping strategies such as substance use, self-blaming, or denial. It is necessary to assess the importance of the unemployment process and the incorporation of appropriate coping strategies that facilitate new integration in the labour market, such as planification, emotional or social support and self-distraction between others.
