The most recent figures estimate that at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/mental-health-disorder-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 in 4 adults<\/a> in the US experience a diagnosable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightmine.com\/us\/resources\/blogs\/5-effective-employee-mental-health-benefits\/\">mental health<\/a> condition each year. Some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/mental-health-disorder-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most common disorders<\/a> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Anxiety disorders: 19% of US adults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Major depression: 8.3% of US adults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): 3.6% of US adults.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people who are diagnosed with a mental illness still maintain a full-time job. In fact, these disorders are well-represented in the workforce; about <a href=\"https:\/\/adata.org\/factsheet\/health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">18% of workers<\/a> in the US report having a mental health condition in any given month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental health conditions can pose unique challenges in the workplace. Disorders like anxiety and depression may <a href=\"https:\/\/executive.berkeley.edu\/thought-leadership\/blog\/impacts-poor-mental-health-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drain productivity and engagement<\/a>, making it more difficult for employees to stay focused and motivated. This is especially true if a condition goes untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the coming years, the representation of individuals struggling with these conditions in the workforce is likely to increase. Mental illness is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.edu\/blog\/mental-health-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more prevalent<\/a> in younger generations; 34% of those between 18 and 25 years of age have a diagnosed mental illness, as opposed to 28% in the range from 26 to 49 years old. As younger generations continue to enter the the workforce, organizations need to prepare to provide support to this population on a broader scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Protection-for-Psychiatric-Disabilities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection for psychiatric disabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) details legal protections against discrimination in employment for those with psychiatric disabilities. An employer that disregards these protections may open their organization up to legal risks at every turn, from hiring to termination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.brightmine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/17171744\/uscistate-of-mental-health1.webp\" alt=\"Infographic listing what employers are prohibited from doing under the Americans with Disabilities Act as it relates to workplace mental health.\" class=\"wp-image-7017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.brightmine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/17171744\/uscistate-of-mental-health1.webp 634w, https:\/\/cdn.brightmine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/17171744\/uscistate-of-mental-health1-300x227.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Accommodations-and-Benefits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accommodations and benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ADA states that employees with psychiatric disabilities cannot be denied reasonable accommodations. These accommodations can support workers when managing their mental health and help them function at their best, ultimately buffering against the impact mental illness may have on productivity and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those with a mental health disorder can function much better at work with accommodations, but many employees are reluctant to request accommodations if they feel it will expose a condition that they would prefer to keep private. Luckily, some accommodations only require minor adjustments that can be offered to all employees instead of targeted only toward those who need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers can offer flexible scheduling, flexible break times or opportunities to work from home, which may help employees adhere to appointment times and medication plans. For disorders like anxiety or ADHD, something as simple as allowing the use of headphones to block out distracting noises can make a big difference. When these options are made available to all employees, those who need them the most can choose to take advantage of what they need without feeling pressured to disclose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most disorders can be alleviated or even fully resolved with proper treatment, but many people <a href=\"https:\/\/mhanational.org\/issues\/state-mental-health-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">struggle to find a provider<\/a> they can afford. Organizations are uniquely positioned to help employees who are struggling with mental health by offering targeted benefits that support their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers should make sure that the health insurance they offer covers the cost of mental health treatment. Alternatively, employers can provide benefits that directly facilitate access and affordability of mental health care. This can be done by subsidizing the cost of counseling sessions or their associated copays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can also be highly effective at making sure employees have directly accessible mental health care without compromising financial health. Work-supported intervention programs like EAPs have been shown to help depressed employees recover, decreasing symptoms and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3281506\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">translating directly into increased productivity<\/a> at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"A-Culture-of-Support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A culture of support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers should not underestimate the direct effect an organization&#8217;s culture can have on the mental health of employees. Although mental health is very much influenced by past experiences and genetics, even those who do not have risk factors can be heavily affected by stressors in their current environment. This can include factors in the workplace, including the health of relationships with coworkers, stress from overloaded and unbalanced responsibilities, or a feeling of being excluded from the company&#8217;s community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A toxic work culture can directly damage the mental health of employees, exacerbating mental health symptoms and bogging down productivity across the board. On the other hand, a healthy and supportive culture at work can provide employees with the stability they need to effectively work through and recover from mental illness. Employers should strategize about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/how-a-toxic-work-environment-may-affect-mental-health-4165338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to heal a toxic work environment<\/a> if this is having an impact on the mental health of employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column lnrs-hide-block-on-mobile is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--secondary-gray);border-left-width:2px;padding-left:10px;flex-basis:30%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained wp-container-1 is-position-sticky\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-bleach-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-22a7c014 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:14px;padding-top:10px;padding-right:15px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:15px\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigate HR complexity with confidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Brightmine, you can build powerful people strategies, implement best practices and set your organization up for a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn how our tools, resources and automation can empower you and your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/us\/solutions\/?intcmp=cta|blog|solutions|learn-more\" style=\"border-radius:25px\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#top\">Go back to the top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2bab40e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:25px;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You may also be interested in&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n<section id=\"resources-search-filter\" class=\"wp-elements-d70d3caea1184d9b84e816d770cd40dc wp-block-brightmine-resources-filter has-text-color has-primary-black-color has-background has-primary-white-background-color\">\n\n\n<div class=\"ajax-filter\">\n<div class=\"lnrs-resources-search-filter  editor-posts-filtered-topics \">\n\t\t<div class=\"search_terms_bottom\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bottom_left\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"search_terms_result_count\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bottom_right\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"loader-container\">\n\t\t<span class=\"loader\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"lnrs-resource-filter-widget__container\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__resource\" style=\"background-color: #f3f2f0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightmine.com\/us\/resources\/talent-management\/employee-engagement\/the-great-disconnect-employee-trust\/\"><div class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__resource_image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cdn.brightmine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/19105356\/the-great-disconnect-blog-1-image.webp);\"><\/div><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__inner_content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content-top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__categories\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__category_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"sync\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightmine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/lnrs-resources-filter\/assets\/images\/category-flag.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__category_icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"lnrs-resource-hub-widget__category\">Blogs<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\" style=\"color: #00728B\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightmine.com\/us\/resources\/talent-management\/employee-engagement\/the-great-disconnect-employee-trust\/\">The Great Disconnect: When workplace decisions erode employee trust<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"color: #000000\">Employee trust erodes when policy, reward and manager guidance send conflicting signals.
