3. DESCRIPTION
Mental illness is a largely misunderstood disease that carries much stigma in society and Mental Health
Challenges in Workplace are increasing day by day. 70% of people with depression are employed, many do not
seek treatment and when they do—medication is able to help only about 66% of those who are depressed.
Approximately 20% of the population has any one of a number of personality disorders—those who do are often
difficult to manage. Anxiety is one of the most common mental illnesses with some research suggesting it is the
most common U.S. mental health problem; other research indicates depression is the number one disability.
Mental illness is a covered disability under the ADAAA and therefore is subject to the law of the ADAAA including
the requirement to engage in an interactive process.
Managers and HR professionals often walk a delicate line in dealing with employees who may have a mental
illness or exhibit signs and symptoms that give pause in considering if an employee needs to be referred for
outside assistance such as EAP. But how does one refer a troubled employee without violating the ADA? What
steps should an organization take to create a stigma-free workplace that is centered on the well-being of its
employees’ physical and mental health? Mental Health Challenges in Workplace will be discussed in this webinar.

5. WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Employers are seeing more mental health issues in their workforce than ever before. Each year 1 in 5 adults is stricken with a
mental illness (National Institute of Mental health), making mental illness an everyday reality for many of your employees.
Yet, only 1 in 3 people seek help with their illness. The ADA, HIPPA, FMLA, and most states’ human/civil rights departments
dictate how employers deal with employees with mental health problems. Privacy laws create challenges for employers to
determine how serious a situation is and whether an employee poses a danger (though those with a mental illness pose no
more risk of violence than those without a mental illness).
Examples of the most common psychological disorders include major depression and dysthymia, bipolar disorder, anxiety,
schizophrenia, and an array of personality disorders. Those individuals with depression have 2.5 times the risk of on-the-job
injury.
In 2016, the EEOC resolved 5000 disability-based claims dealing with mental health conditions costing employers
approximately $20 million. With the increase in claims came an EEOC's newly released Guidance on Mental Health
Discrimination which is addressed to employees informing them of their employment rights under the ADA.
Workplaces can and should play a significant role in minimizing their employees’ mental health risks. Employee stress levels
continue to rise as more and more employees spend more and more hours at work without an increase in pay or
benefits. Burnout and depression, particularly among millennials and millennial women are reported more than in any other
generation.
