Psychosocial risks and work suffering

Psychosocial risks and work suffering. The work related mental disorders are one of the main concerns for physicians and for occupational health policy. In addition of the difficulties to take appropriate preventive measures, due to nature and the complexity of this issue, the mental health and its occupational risk factors certainly need some clarification. It's important not to confuse risk factors and adverse consequences. Another key point is the cognitive mediation, and thus its subjective nature, therefore this process is subject to intra and extra variability between the risk factors and health consequences. The aim of this synthesis paper is to shed light on the matter and to bring informations on epidemiological data.
