Long commutes to work are associated with an increased risk of depression, according to a study involving over 23,000 residents of South Korea. The research revealed that lengthy commutes can impact the body and lead to deterioration in mental health. Participants who spent over an hour commuting to work were 16% more likely to experience symptoms of depression compared to those with shorter commutes of less than 30 minutes.
