Stress and mental ill health are a major contributor to absenteeism in the workplace. Therefore it is good for business to ensure that employers can manage stress effectively, and to have an open policy of talking and engaging in conversations about stress and mental health in the workplace.
Society’s ignorance of mental health results in stigma, discrimination, and stereotyping however this is due to limited knowledge and false understanding of mental health conditions.
Stigma can lead to discrimination. Discrimination may be obvious and direct, such as someone making a negative remark about your mental illness or your treatment.
