Do you think that people with mental illness aren’t right next to you in your workplace? Think you don’t manage them? Think you don’t report to them? Think again. In any given year, about one in five people experience a diagnosable mental illness. These mental illnesses range from anxiety disorders, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and everything in between. While 100 percent of people have mental health, it’s actually the 20 percent with mental illness that is the focus of this podcast.
