How Does the Bipolar Disorder Affect Your Company
|
Mental illness has an immense impact on the workplace. Awareness and accommodation from employers is crucial. Bipolar Disorder affects at least 1 in 200 people and for every one untreated it costs an employer more than $10,000 a year in lost productivity.
The World Health Organisation estimates that, in a company of 1,000 workers, 200-300 are likely to suffer a serious mental health problem in a given year, and in a 10 year period, one worker will commit suicide and 20-30 will make a suicide attempt.
Bipolar Disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability in the world, and may soon be a leading cause for leave in the workplace. In addition to having a huge personal cost, the disorder also has a substantial economic cost amounting to $1.59 billion in Australia.
