Abstract
Mobbing, a hostile attitude systematically applied to one person by one or more people in a workplace, is a major psychosocial risk. Long exposure to hostile behaviors leads to mental and physical disorders. In addition, other psychosocial risks due to the working environment increase the risk of mental health disorders. Little regulation or control mechanisms exist in Turkey to prevent psychosocial risks in the workplace. In this case report, we aimed a 34-year-old patient with major depression referred to our occupational disease clinic and we discuss the effects of mobbing and other psychosocial risks in the workplace on major depression. The evaluations suggest that the experienced psychosocial risks of the patient can affect the occurrence of majör depressive disorder. Thus, there are occupational diseases caused by psychosocial risks in Turkey. Psychosocial risk assessment and mental health surveillance should be performed in workplaces to identify workrelated psychosocial disorders.
