Japan's Disposable Workers: Overworked to Suicide

“The cause of my depression is definitely overwork.” wrote Naoya Nishigaki, 28, a system engineer, on his blog.“I can’t do anything. I just feel irritated, exhausted, and disgusted. I try to suppress these feelings with medication, but I feel like my medication has become less and less effective lately. I’m so worried. What should I do? “ Naoya committed “karojishi” or suicide triggered by overworking in 2006.
