According to the World Health Organization, mental health is described as: “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stress of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” But the World Health Organization’s definition applies only to part of the population.
At any given time, one-in-five American adults suffers with a mental health condition that impacts their daily lives. Stress, anxiety and depression are among the most prevalent for injured workers. Left untreated they can render a seemingly straightforward claim nearly unmanageable, resulting in poor outcomes and exorbitant costs.
