PY - 2013 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 5e AB - Occupational mental health is increasingly recognized as an important focus of an effective occupational health and safety program. Although most workers attempt to conceal their mental health illnesses and treatments out of fear of stigma and the possibility of termination, psychiatric disorders are commonly encountered in the workplace. The amount of time a person spends at work and the structured nature of work make it an ideal place to detect mental health disorders. Some mental health conditions can even be ascribed to occupational stressors. For these reasons, occupational physicians are in a pivotal position to recognize, assess, and manage mental health conditions.
