Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by high recurrence and suicide rates. Early diagnosis facilitates timely intervention and effective management. Compared with other industries, employees in the service sector are at greater risk of developing mental health disorders and work absenteeism, a trend that has continued to grow. This study aims to examine the association between demographic variables and depression scores among logistical staff in medical institutions. By screening for depression, more targeted diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment strategies can be implemented for this population.
