Have you 'come out' about mental health problems at work?

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 6/26/144:00 AM

In Wednesday's paper, Lisa Rodrigues CBE, who is stepping down as Chief Executive of the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, has spoken of her experience of openly discussing her mental health condition within a professional environment.

In 2012, a number of MPs stood up in parliament and spoke about their own mental health conditions during a Commons debate on the issue. Sarah Wollaston, Charles Walker, Kevan Jones and Andrea Leadsom all disclosed conditions they had faced; from postnatal depression to OCD, and spoke about how it affected their personal and professional lives.
