Mental health problems are forcing thousands in UK out of work

10/26/2017

The Thriving at Work report, published on Thursday, puts the annual cost to the UK economy of poor mental health at up to £99bn, of which about £42bn is borne by employers.

This is crazy, but this is the world we live in. We care more about someone's physical scar, than their mental ones.

As a result of mental health, it has been reported today that 300,000 lose their jobs due to mental health. 

So what are we doing about it? Why is Mental Health still a taboo subject at work? Why do we still feel bad if we are to call in sick due to stress, depression or anxiety as opposed to a migraine or food poisoning? 

Are we simply more sympathetic to one type of illness than the other? 
Will there ever be a change in the way the corporate world thinks? Gender pay gaps. Maternity leave, pregnancy, work-related stress and all of that! 

Have you ever called in sick due to a mental illness/feeling?
