Anxiety, stress and depression among employed and unemployed individuals

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between anxiety, stress and depression among employed and unemployed individuals. Using correlation and t-test, a sample of 50 employed and 50 unemployed individuals in Delhi NCR were analyzed. The results supported that there is a relationship between anxiety, stress and depression. Both the groups, employed and unemployed are similar in stress and depression but there exists a significant difference in both the groups in anxiety. Therefore, it can be said that there was a significant difference found among employed and unemployed individuals only in anxiety. It is recommended to develop intervention strategies to overcome this increasing rate of unemployment.
