SUMMARY - Remote Work & Mental Health
A woman works from her spare bedroom, grateful to skip the commute, able to manage her anxiety better without the overstimulation of open office. She is more productive, calmer, happier working remotely. Her colleague works from the same type of spare bedroom but feels increasingly isolated, the lack of casual interaction leaving him lonely, the boundary between work and life dissolving until he is never truly off. His mental health has declined since remote work began.
