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.
4 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. Perhaps even more worryingly, the survey found that more than a quarter of employees have taken a sick day claiming it was for a physical problem when it was in fact for a mental health issue.
