    • Psychiatry
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Previous research indicates a need for better understanding of depression prevalence in specific industries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the six-month prevalence of depression in a working population within the entertainment industry.
    • To identify the rates of depressive symptoms and insomnia among these employees.

    Main Results:

    • A high prevalence of depressive illness was observed at 9.4%.
    • An additional 21.7% experienced "depressive symptoms only" or "terminal insomnia only".
    • The majority of affected individuals, particularly males, remained untreated.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings indicate a substantial burden of depression and related symptoms in this working population.
    • There is a critical unmet need for mental health treatment, especially for males in the entertainment sector.
    • Further comprehensive research is warranted to explore these preliminary findings in greater depth.
