Introduction

Depression is one of the most well-known psychological issues and is among the most severe ones. World Health Organisation's (WHO) report on health identifies 1.9% lifetime prevalence of depressive episode for males and almost twice as high–3.2% for females.

Methods

This study aimed to map the depressive symptoms among working population in Czech Republic.

Results

Analysis of covariance showed that there is significant effect of age F(52) = 6.58, P = 0.010 and gender F(52) = 12.53, P < .001 and t-tests showed the means of BDI II scores were significantly different for genders with females having higher mean (11.91) than males (9.80), t(1025) = −3.42, P < .001.

Conclusion

The clinical burden of depression is still an increasing one in today's society and this research helped to identify the potentially most vulnerable individuals. These seem to be working women aged 35–44.
