I cut and paste in case there are problems....
Most employees with depression think revealing their condition to
colleagues could have a detrimental impact on their working life, a
survey showed today.
Eight out of 10 (79%) believe it could cause problems while 32% of those
who have disclosed their condition say they have been turned down for a
job as a result.
Figures suggest that one in 10 people of working age in the UK suffers
depression.
But just one in four (25%) of those have informed their personnel
departments of their condition, the survey showed.
Of those who have revealed their condition, 51% believe they are
discouraged from taking on exciting projects (51%), 48% are avoided by
colleagues and 47% have received snide comments.
Half (50%) say they have been passed over for promotion and 14% have no
access to support at work.
