The most depressing jobs in the country revealed in new study
Job seekers may want to consider the toll that specific careers can have on their mental health. A huge new study published on Friday examined the relationship between careers and depression rates. The study analyzed survey data from 536,279 workers across 37 states from 2015 to 2019. Out of half a million U.S. workers, 80,319 of them admitted to being diagnosed with depression at some point during their lives, with women being diagnosed twice as often as men. Separating the results by industry, the study saw that people who worked in community and social services had the highest rate of lifelong diagnosed depression at 20.5 percent. The second highest on the list was food prep and serving jobs at 20.1 percent. Other industries with high lifetime diagnosed depression rates are: arts, entertainment, sports, and media at 18.6 percent; accommodation and food services at 18.4 percent; health and social assistance at 18.2 percent; retail trade at 17.7 percent; and legal, education, and library jobs tied at 16.1 percent. Industries with lower lifetime diagnosed depression rates included mining jobs at 6.7 percent, construction at 8.9 percent, and agriculture and engineering jobs at nine percent. Although mining and construction may have lower depression rates, those industries also have the highest suicide rates among U.S. workers. The researchers suggest that the gap may be explained because blue-collar men are less likely to seek mental services due to a preexisting stigma or limited access in rural areas. Despite the results of the study, there are some jobs out there that are almost stress-free and also come with a large paycheck. Back in December 2024, Resume Genius released its list of the highest-paying jobs that also reported low levels of stress. Their study described 'low-stress jobs' as ones that typically require fewer demands, more predictable work hours, supportive environments, and manageable workloads. All of the jobs on the list required the person to have at least a Bachelor's degree. The list was compiled using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the career site O*NET Online. The high-stress jobs were filtered out using O*NET and then cross-referenced against the BLS's Occupational Outlook Handbook, with the national median salary set at $48,060 and viewing jobs that showed 'faster-than-average growth.' The best jobs included: water source specialist, astronomer, actuary, environmental economist, mathematician, and geographer.

'RHONJ''s Dolores Catania Says She Gained 20 Lbs. After Mounjaro ‘Stopped Working': ‘I'm Having a Really Hard Time'
Dolores Catania revealed she gained 20 lbs. after her Mounjaro 'stopped working' The RHONJ star she's 'having a really hard time' dealing with the weight gain She admitted that there's a possibility her weight gain could be due to the slew of heart medications she's been takingDolores Catania is struggling with weight gain even while taking Mounjaro. On June 6, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 54, appeared on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live and talked about taking Mounjaro, an FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes. It's a brand name for tirzepatide, which is highly effective for weight loss by reducing appetite and improving how the body breaks down sugar and fat. Mounjaro is similar to Ozempic and Wegovy — brand names for semaglutide. They work in the brain to impact satiety and have been trending in and out of Hollywood. Catania — who previously shared that she lost 20 lbs. with the medication — revealed on the show that she's now gained the weight back. 'I'm having a really hard time right now. My Mounjaro stopped working, I gained 20 lbs.,' she shared. 'I've been looking for therapy for all my friends. I'm really having a bad time with this.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Lewis asked if she's able to switch to another medication like Ozempic and she immediately replied, 'I did it all.' Catania said she has since stopped taking the medication for about a month because she needed to undergo a cardiac ablation — a minimally invasive procedure where doctors freeze or burn the inside of the heart to restore a normal heart rhythm. The Bravo star assured that she's 'fine' now and was only in the hospital for the procedure. 'I'm on a bunch of medicine, like, 10 pills a day,' she said. 'It's just a formality now. I have to take it for the next 90 days, then I should be done.' 'Maybe that's why I gained weight,' she said of all the new medications. 'I'm hoping maybe that's why.' ! is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Catania previously spoke about her success on Mounjaro in 2023. "I'm down 20 pounds," she told The U.S. Sun, adding that her goal weight "is to be in the low 130s." The reality star admitted that she was previously 'gaining weight every month' and got up to 163 lbs. before trying the medication and seeing some results. 'It doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't come off easy," she said. Catania was originally prescribed Ozempic, taking the drug for two years before switching to Mounjaro in early 2023. 'I was medically prescribed for both because I am insulin resistant/pre-diabetic and have a thyroid issue,' she said at the time. Catania stressed that although she was still hoping to lose more weight on Mounjaro, taking these medications isn't a quick fix to weight loss, insisting that she focuses on exercising, healthy eating, and limiting her drinking — minus the wild nights spent with her RHONJ castmates. "I stopped taking [Ozempic] because it was expensive and everything. But being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle is cheap — it's free!" she told the outlet. "I work out regularly. There is no easy fix for weight loss and I have to watch what I eat." Read the original article on People
