Stress = Entirety of all comprehensible
outside influences that affect the individual
psychologically
(by definition DIN EN ISO 10075-1 (1a))
e. g.Burnout
State of International Research
 Scientific evidence for mental strain
representing a strong risk factor for chronic
diseases, disabilities and occupational safety
 Higher perceived stress often precedes
greater depressive symptoms
State of International Research
 Farmers experience high rates of
psychological distress and (occupational)
suicide around the globe (suicide rates
increase with age)
 Strongest stressors in farming: overwork,
generational conflicts, disorders and the
financial situation
State of International Research
 (Older) farmers define health as the ability to work
 Limited ability to acknowledge or talk about mental
health problems and seek help among farmers
 Mental health in agricultural population is an
under-researched issue (in Germany)
Structural Characteristics
 Frequent family farming based structures
(private/family life and working life unified in one
location)
 Limited accessibility to and stigmatisation of
mental health care; greater concerns about
confidentiality
 Institutional mental health care programmes are
not readily compatible with the profession
Prevalence of Mental Disorders
 We face a trend of an ever-rising number of cases
reported (mental health problems)
 conservative estimates put the prevalence down to
38.2 % of EU 27 population suffering from mental
disorders (at any point in time)
 No substantial cultural or country variations
 Most people affected don’t receive any treatment
 One of the most frequent mental health disorders in the
EU is the major depression

The Economic Impact is Immense
 One third of all new disability benefit claims in OECD
countries is linked to mental health problems
 Projections put the total costs of depression alone to an
amount of 600+ billion Euro p. a.
 Employers: €272bn
 Economy: €242bn
 Health system: 63bn
 Social welfare system: €39bn
The Economic Impact is Immense
 Severe mental disorders (e. g. Alzheimer’s disease,
schizophrenia and depression) have a high prevalencecost ratio
 Costs are expected to increase sharply
Mental disorders as the core health challenge of the
21st century
Prevention Works
 Studies show well-elaborated interventions to be
effective in improving mental health
 Above all: gains in health and quality of life
 Also: very significant economic benefits
Prevention is Good Value
 Many interventions are very low cost
 Small shift in expenditure generates efficiency gains
 Most interventions are outstandingly good value for
money
 ROI can be as high as €13.62
 Broad range of payoffs: within public sector and beyond
 Well-designed interventions towards mental health can
tip the balance for a healthier and longer life
Need of Innovation Research and Action
– Horizon 2020
 Mental Health Study fostering methodological
innovations such as new/improved test instruments
 Mental health promotion and disorder prevention as
well as psychotherapeutic interventions in working and
living contexts to strengthen resilience and to reduce
psychological distress in farmers
 Innovation Action Programmes as clinical-psychological web
based interventions, telephone councelling
 De-stigmatization
