Mental Health & Anxiety at Work
Really curious to hear people's responses to the 4 following questions:
1. Do you (or have you ever) struggled with work related anxiety, depression or mental stress?
2. Does your company offer some form of counseling or therapy through their benefits program? If not, do you wish they did?
3. If yes to 1 & 2, have you ever used the provided counseling / therapy services offered? If not, why not?
4. What do you feel is the overall perception of admitting to mental health struggles at your workplace?
Feel free to answer some or all of these. For background, I have been seeing a counselor for the past two years and have also been on anti-depressants. Anxiety and depression are a constant struggle from me, and I want a better understanding of people's general perception of the topic, especially coming from demanding careers like many of the people on this forum have.
Thanks!
1. Yea, 24/7
2. I think they offer some sort of virtual therapy option for free or at a steep discount
3. I’ve never used it
4. No one ever really talks about it but it’s clear that nearly everyone is struggling to some extent. Wouldn’t say there is a stigma but people still keep pretty quietly / suffer in silence for whatever reason.
Thanks for sharing. Highly encourage getting some form of help -- at the very least it can't hurt trying. Especially if the provided resources from your firm are anonymous, it really can only help. It definitely doesn't "solve" your problems, nor is that the goal of counseling, but it can absolutely help. Hope topics and forums like this help bring the issue to light. Thanks again!
