Mental Health and Well-Being (at Work)
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
