Opinion: The mental health stigma in the workplace

The comment from Confused Partner is misguided. Depression and anxiety disorders are extremely prevalent. Rates are particularly high in the legal profession. Many individuals who have recovered from, or continue to suffer, mental health problems have rewarding and fulfilling careers in the profession. Indeed, many individuals find their mental health issues transformative, and that their lives, abilities and understanding of others are enhanced as a result of their experiences. It is overly simplistic, to put it mildly, that individuals with mental health disorders cannot perform in high pressure jobs - the evidence suggests the contrary.
