Mental Health Issues Affect
Businesses and Their Employees
Mental illnesses such as depression are associated with higher rates of disability and unemployment.
Depression interferes with a person’s ability to complete physical job tasks about 20% of the time and reduces cognitive performance about 35% of the time.
Only 57% of employees who report moderate depression and 40% of those who report severe depression receive treatment to control depression symptoms.
