Yes. While finding jobs can be challenging for people with mental health issues, you can still be an asset to an employer. It is also illegal for employers to discriminate against people with any kind of disability. Whether you are living with a condition and managing it with medication or undergoing treatment, you are in the position to apply for jobs that work best for you and your career goals.
No. You are not obligated to disclose your mental health during the interview and/or employment process. An employer can only request information about mental conditions if the job you are applying for may have work setups that can impact mental health and affect work performance.1 Otherwise, disclosing your mental health issues is a personal choice if you feel there is a need for your employers to discuss their flexibility to structure your work and minimise stress and potential problems.
Yes. Many people with mental health conditions can and do work full time. Finding a job you enjoy can help improve your mental health and give a sense of purpose. With the right kind of support, people with mental health issues can perform in their roles productively, safely, and even succeed in their careers.
No, living with mental health issues will not mean losing your job. By law, employers cannot discriminate against people with mental health issues or evoke their rights in the workplace solely based on their condition. Companies are required to make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of their workers with physical and/or mental conditions.
