D#5, HW#4 - Annotated Bibliography

Levy, B. et al. (Eds.). (2005). Preventing occupational disease and injury. Washington, DC: American Public Health Association.

This book was found using search terms "depression and workplace" in MCC's library catalogue. The "contents note" indicates discussion of strategies for prevention for a wide range of illnesses, one of which is depression. I would need to see this book to evaluate its usefulness to my project.

Thomas, J. C., Hersen, M. (Eds.). (2004). Psychopathology in the workplace: recognition and adaptation. New York, NY: Brunner-Routledge.

Again found in MCC's catalog with the aforementioned search terms, this book is a collection of articles on the subject. Two articles look like they might be useful. 1. "Depression" and 2. "Promoting mental health in the workplace". Number 2 looks especially promising because I think one point of focus in my paper will be ways of promoting mental health as a means of preventing depression. I will look this up on my next visit to the library.

Hagen, P. (Ed.). (2003). Mayo Clinic guide to self-care: answers for everyday health problems. Rochester, MN: Mayo Clinic.

Found using search term "mental health workplace" in MCC's catalog, this is a reference collection holding. The Mayo Clinic is a prestigious institution in the world of medicine. One chapter/article in particular looking good, "Your health and the workplace". Will also physically examine this source.

I just found the italics button! How could I have been so blind to have not seen that before? DER!
