The chances are high you'll eventually end up working with people who battle mental illness.
One-in-five adults get afflicted annually, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.) So even if you haven't worked with someone who suffers depression or similar, sooner or later you will. For many folks in the buttoned-up corporate world, that's a frightening thought, probably because they have no idea what it means.
Still, it behooves us all to understand better our colleagues who sometimes get sick in this way. Understanding goes a long way.
How can you learn about it without visiting the psych ward? You could do far worse than read the recently published Walk A Mile: Tales of a Wandering Loon by Chris Young. Read more here.
