One in six people in work have mental health problems

Isn't it called the accounts department?

Doing a job where workers don't get paid for taking time off seems to have a healing effect on mental health. And general health as well if it comes to that.

The worse health amongst workers is in the public sector, where you get blacklisted if you don't take you annual sick leave.

naughty crips ! The other point is if one in six at work are suffering mental health then a greater proportion must be out of work,you would guess,perhaps one in three and many of them are on the BF forum !

How common are specific problems?
Every seven years a survey is done in England to measure the number of people who have different types of mental health problems [2]. It was last published in 2016 and reported these figures:

Generalised anxiety disorder    5.9 in 100 people
Depression    3.3 in 100 people
Phobias      2.4 in 100 people
OCD     1.3 in 100 people
Panic disorder    0.6 in 100 people
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)    4.4 in 100 people
Mixed anxiety and depression    7.8 in 100 people
Estimates for bipolar disorder, psychotic disorder and personality disorders are usually measured over a person's lifetime, rather than each year. Estimates for the number of people with these diagnoses can vary quite a lot but the most recent reported findings are [2]:

Psychotic disorder     0.7 in 100 people*
Bipolar disorder     2.0 in 100 people
Antisocial personality disorder     3.3 in 100 people
Borderline personality disorder     2.4 in 100 people
*Measured over the last year.

The survey also measures the number of people who have self-harmed, had suicidal thoughts or have made suicidal attempts over their lifetime:

Suicidal thoughts    20.6 in 100 people
Suicide attempts    6.7 in 100 people
Self-harm    7.3 in 100 people
Note: these statistics have been taken from studies that have surveyed people living in private housing in England [2]. The figures do not include the number of people experiencing mental health problems in hospitals, prisons, sheltered housing or people who are homeless. Therefore these figures may underestimate the prevalence of mental health problems.

That's brilliant DrC.

There are people today with severe mental health problems and instead of getting treatment they are pandered to, which reinforces their illness.
