Abstract in brief
Mental health stigma significantly contributes to increased unemployment rates among people with mental illnesses, with those having severe and common disorders being 7 and 3 times more likely to be unemployed, respectively.
Employers, managers, and societal attitudes often hold negative views about mental health, which can hinder hiring, support, and retention of affected individuals, while disclosure of mental health issues can also lead to job loss.
Stigma not only affects employment directly but also discourages healthcare seeking and perpetuates self-stigma and discrimination, creating long-term barriers to sustainable employment and overall well-being, highlighting the need for further research and intervention.]
