A recent study reveals over one in five UK employees feel uncomfortable discussing their mental health at work. With around 7.5 million workers experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress related to their jobs, this lack of disclosure is alarming. The research highlights a gender disparity, noting more men than women refrain from seeking help. Industries like automotive and health/social care exhibit high silent suffering rates. Experts urge for a cultural shift in workplaces to create supportive environments, emphasizing that overcoming stigma is essential for mental health discussions.
