Mental health is a state of being psychologically and emotionally well.  Research estimates that 1/3 of the South African population suffers from a mental illness. Only 5% of the overall department of health budget contributes to mental health in South Africa. To exacerbate the matter, our country also has minimal/limited mental health care facilities.

Mental health issues in the workplace can affect employees as well as the organisation itself. Poor mental health in the workplace can negatively impact an employee's productivity, engagement with coworkers and the physical capability and daily functioning.

On this episode we scrutinize how mental health may affect us in our work spaces. We also talk and share coping mechanisms of how to maintain your sanity in the workplace.
