HEALTH NOTES: Mental health is off-limits at work

Only one in ten workers will tell their boss about serious mental health struggles they are experiencing.

And, a recent survey has found, one in four will blame physical illness for taking time off work when it is their mental health that is really the problem. A further one in five will take holiday leave rather than admit to difficulties.

One in four Britons experience a mental health problem, and according to the poll of 1,000 full-time workers by wellbeing app Wysa, those aged under 24 were twice as likely as older employees to suffer.
