“…Also, although there are many studies that analyze differences between levels of anxiety and depression according to gender, they are not conclusive on this aspect. A study of the sample of unemployed people in Mexico found that unemployment had more effects on men’s mental health than on women’s in the same situation [ 33 ]. However, it is risky to transfer these results to the ones we have obtained in our research, specifically because of differences in the social and cultural context, the scale of importance associated to gender in both countries, and the specific social and economic moment in which both studies were carried out, among other things.…”

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.

“…In Mexico, the effect of employment on depression in adults and mental health of men and women have not been widely explored. Studies have been reported only in specific populations with small samples, for example, Acosta-Rodríguez et al 21 compare unemployed people (n = 250) versus university students (n = 346), reporting higher scores of depression in the unemployed. Another study in medium-low socioeconomic level communities (n = 1,156) states that occupation and economic limitations were the main factors associated with depression 22 .…”

Association between the employment status and the presence of depressive symptoms in men and women in MexicoAsociación entre el estatus de empleo y la presencia de síntomas depresivos en hombres y mujeres en México Associação entre situação laboral e presença de sintomas depressivos em homens e mulheres mexicanos AbstractThis study aims to estimate the relationship between employment status and depressive symptoms among Mexican adults, as well as to explore its differential effect by gender. Cross-sectional study of 36,516 adults between 20 and 59 years of age taken from the 2012 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the employment status was determined a week before the survey. Logistic regression models were stratified by gender and education level and adjusted by sociodemographic and health-related conditions to estimate the association between depressive symptoms and employment status. The prevalence of clinically depressive symptoms was 7.59% for men and 18.62% for women. In the case of men, those who were unemployed were more likely to present depressive symptoms (OR = 1.66; 95%CI: 1.08-2.55) than those who were working. For women, employment status is not associated with the presence of depressive symptoms, except in students (OR = 1.57; 95%CI: 1.02-2.43) compared with those who were working. In both genders, disability preventing one from working was associated with depressive symptoms. Although being employed has been reported to be associated with lower levels of psychiatric morbidity, the estimated effect is different for men and women. Occupational health policies should consider these conditions.

Resultados: En el pae la sintomatología de ansiedad fue de 75.4% y se redujo 10.8% en el pbe. Se registró 41% de síntomas depresivos (pae), reduciendo 30.6% (pbe). El estrés académico se observó en 70% (pae), disminuyendo 19.5% (pbe), en ambos periodos los exámenes, la sobrecarga académica, falta de tiempo y exponer fueron los principales estresores. Conclusión: Existe una disminución significativa entre el pae y el pbe, sin embargo, en este último siguen prevalentes altos niveles de síntomas de ansiedad, depresión y estrés académico.
