Kevin Simonton leads weekly meetings for unemployed workers to discuss job leads, vent frustrations, and cope with the stress of unemployment. Surveys show that the recession has increased stress levels and nearly half of Americans feel stressed about providing for their families' basic needs. Mental health professionals are seeing more clients who are depressed or anxious due to job loss, reduced income, and economic uncertainty caused by the recession. Feelings of worthlessness, anger, and guilt are common among those who have lost jobs, especially men whose identity is often tied to their career. The stress of the recession is also affecting those who have kept their jobs but face heavier workloads and survivor guilt.
