In previous studies it was pointed out that there is a relationship between "secretion level of cortisol" and "work pressure" and "risk of depression progression". However, in the study by Dr. Grynderup, it is found that the opposite is true, that is, the secretion amount of cortisol is not related to the work pressure, and the more secretion amount is, the lower the risk of depression progression .
