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.
