Our mental health and stress-related injuries

Most people do not like to talk about stress-related injuries in the workplace. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says there were 2.8 million workplace injuries or illnesses in the latest reporting year. Many of these were traumatic injuries. However, there are times when stressful work conditions give rise to mental health illnesses in workers. Please understand that these injuries are just as detrimental to a person’s well-being as any traumatic injury.

Just like a physical injury, a mental injury impacts a person’s life and the lives of their family members. It can affect a person’s ability to function and earn an income. Those who suffer from workplace mental health issues may need to undergo expensive medical treatments.

The problem is that these injuries can be harder to definitively link to a workplace cause. Because of this, a person may be denied workers compensation coverage.

What can cause these injuries?

There are many situations that could lead to a person suffering from mental trauma and develop a mental injury. Consider the following stressors that could happen in the workplace:

1. Being involved in a serious workplace vehicle crash
2. Being the victim of workplace violence (being robbed, assaulted, etc.)
3. Suffering from a life-altering physical trauma like a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury
4. Suffering from continuous workplace discrimination or sexual harassment
5. Exposure to hazardous materials that affect your mental status

A person who experiences a workplace mental injury could suffer from any of the following:

1. Post-traumatic stress disorder
2. Depression
3. Trouble sleeping/insomnia
4. Anxiety
5. Fear
6. And more

There are many jobs in which workers are more prone to these injuries (public safety officials, social workers, military personnel, and more). However, under the right stressful conditions, any person in ANY job could suffer from a workplace mental or stress-related injury.
