Awareness and accommodation from employers is crucial and yet stigma prevails. Most companies do not have a mental health policy. Employees lose their jobs over diminished functioning ? while if they had flexibility to adapt to the workplace during episodes they wouldn?t work incapacitated while not informing their supervisors of the issue, out of fear. Ps. Apologies for problems with links in post i sent re MRI and bipolar which were inadvertently truncated.Hopefully the untruncated links worked.
