Mental health and the workplace. An interchangeable partnership.
Mental health is an important component of occupational health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recognizes psychological disorders as one of the 10 leading work-related diseases and injuries (Millar, 1984). Job-related stress is receiving an increasing amount of public attention, and several studies indicate that stress-related conditions are among the most important health problems of the 1990s for people at work and outside of work.
