Most employees hide mental health conditions over stigma

The truth about mental health in the workplace has been revealed by research from pensions and insurance provider Friends Life.

The new survey shows that huge numbers of employees in the UK are still hiding mental health conditions from their employers for fear of it affecting their job.

Indeed, four in 10 employed people in the UK say they have experienced a common mental health problem like stress, anxiety or depression in the last year and not told their employer.
