Participants completed in-app assessment including demographic questions, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, two-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder and questions from the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire. Cut-off scores were used to establish probable cases of depression alone, anxiety alone and comorbidity.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of the total sample, 7% met cut-off for depression only, 13% anxiety only, while 16% were comorbid. Those with comorbidity reported greater symptom severity, poorer work performance and more sickness absence compared to all other groups. Presenteeism and absenteeism were significantly worse in those with depression only and anxiety only compared to those with non-clinical symptom levels. Although those with depression alone tended to have poorer outcomes than the anxiety-only group, when sample prevalence rates were considered, the impact on presenteeism was comparable.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Workplace functioning is heavily impacted by depression and anxiety both independently and where they co-occur.
