I am a pretty happy person and if i am depressed it isnt long before I can turn myself around. I am quite lucky. This is certainly an overlooked problem and needs to be addressed.
If it's the job that's making them stressed/depressed, i.e. not personal problems, it's very hard to turn yourself around. The prospect of turning up for work can be draining. You can change jobs, but the prospect of the interview won't be a help. To some people, the interview can be a nightmare.
