It is Saturday afternoon and a dozen or so men and women are gathered in a nondescript room in central Tokyo, working intently on a presentation that will have a bearing on their future careers. They do not work for the same organisation and the exercise is not directly related to their jobs. But the session is part of a programme run by MDA Japan, a non-profit organisation that supports people with mood disorders, and the participants are here to achieve a common goal – to return to work after suffering from depression.
一個周六的下午，十來個男女聚集在東京市中心一個普通的房間里，專心致志地講述著事關(guān)他們未來職業(yè)生涯的問題。他們不屬于同一家機(jī)構(gòu)，這項(xiàng)活動與他們的工作也沒有直接關(guān)系。這次聚會是為患有情緒障礙癥者提供支持的非營利組織MDA Japan運(yùn)作的一個項(xiàng)目的環(huán)節(jié)。項(xiàng)目參與者懷著一個共同的目標(biāo)：在經(jīng)受抑郁癥折磨之后，能夠重新回到工作崗位上。
