Mental health and employment: much work still to be done.
Mental illness is now the leading cause of both sickness absence and incapacity benefits in most high-income countries.

We discuss the findings from Dame Carol Black's recent review of the health of Britain's working-age population and examine how her recommendations may impact and challenge mental health services.
