If I have a job to do and I am not in a depression, I am full of self confidence and I just do what I have to do to do the job. There is no stress response. If meds are playing a role in not having depression then they eliminate stress. I can work, make money, pay bills, and not trip. No stress response in the first place.
If I have a job to do and I am in a depression then I have a lack of energy, lack of motivation, and a lack of self confidence. I get very worried I will not be able to do the job or I will screw it up, or I will bail half way through. This creates stress and anxiety. Stress response. If it is so bad that I can't work than I can't make money and can't pay bills which creates an enormous amount of stress and anxiety and low self worth and makes everything worse.
