Myth or Fact?

Hello Ashley

I like how you use the word recovered rather than cure. So much more accurate. 

I was never late, never missed work and never complained even through the worst of my illness, I just wanted it to go away along with the complainers. They have no Idea how well off they are.

Myth: People with mental health needs, even those who have received effective treatment and have recovered, tend to be second-rate workers on the job.

Fact: Employers who have hired people with mental illnesses report good attendance and punctuality, as well as motivation, quality of work, and job tenure on par with or greater than other employees. Studies by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) show that there are no differences in productivity when people with mental illnesses are compared to other employees.
