How can you cope with workplace stigma about mental health conditions?
If you are thinking about talking to your employer about your mental health, your health care team may have suggestions about what to share and how best to do that. Talking to your employer about your mental health may help you feel more supported at work. But you also have the right to keep your mental health information private.
If your symptoms affect your work, you may want to talk to your manager or human resources department. If they understand what you need, they may be able to make some changes that will help you keep doing your job well.
Your employer is not allowed to discriminate against you because of your mental health condition.
