I don't want to talk about it | More than half of UK staff uncomfortable with discussing mental health at work

More than half of UK employees feel uncomfortable disclosing mental health or psychological conditions, such as ADHD, anxiety, or depression, in the workplace.

New research from jobs and careers site Reed, which surveyed over 2,000 workers and jobseekers across the UK, found Millennials (anyone born between 1986-1991) are the generation least likely to disclose any mental health issues to their colleagues, with 57% stating they wouldn’t feel comfortable. Perhaps surprisingly, however, Baby Boomers, those aged 57-75, were the most comfortable talking about their mental health, with only 45% saying they wouldn’t want to open up.
