I am absolutely terrified about returning to work as I believe they are going to sack me. I have already received a 'final warning' for absence and am subject to the Company's Capability policy. i am currently on my 6th week of absence for this episode of depression and this is my 3rd occasion of absence in the last 12 months (not all depressive episodes). Because they have this policy in place, they do have to use it, which should mean they cannot sack me until I return to work and have another Capability meeting. Therefore, my current logic (ha!) is that whilst I am off I am 'safe'. I appreciate this is ridiculous, but cant help how I feel. Also, I am certainly not strong enough mentally yet to go through the trauma of the Capability process. Does anyone have any idea what I'm on about or is it just me? Sairy
if you depression was diagnosed before 2010, you are covered under the Disability Discrimination Act, after 2010 there is the Equalities Act which doesn't recognise depression but cannot ignore a previous relevant complaint.
Six years ago, I was signed off work with depression. On my return, I discovered that HR officer had told my manager I had arthritis. When I tackled her about this, she said “I didn’t think you would want anyone to know” I replied “First, don’t assume, ask. Second, I have depression, not syphilis”. On my return to work I was treated as if I was a complete imbecile. People seem to equate mental illness with mental deficiency. I complained that I was only given boring and mundane work to do. I was told that they didn’t want to give me work that might cause me stress. I told them that giving me dull monotonous work was causing me stress, they wouldn’t listen, treating me like a silly child. Long after my recovery, my depression was brought up at every appraisal. On one occasion it was referred to as my ‘behavioural problems’. Two years ago I suffered a complete relapse because of the situation at work, my doctor putting ‘Depression due to work stress’ on my sick notes. HR and management ignored all of the recommendations given by OHS, saying it didn’t comply with business needs. Last June I suffered another relapse, I was put on a stage one disciplinary for poor attendance. The union managed to get this overthrown, as neither HR nor management could give any evidence of why they were unable to follow OHS advice. Last December under my doctor’s advice I took voluntary redundancy, I am now unemployed, but spending my redundancy money taking a couple of diplomas with Pitman’s training. I am not signing on the dole, as I do not feel ready to face the workplace. I’m hoping the training and time will help me build my self confidence and esteem back up again

I have suffered from depression, stress and other mental health issues. For a long time I didn't uderstand my mental health challenges so I used drugs and alcohol to escape the misery I thought was caused by the events in my life, yet now I have a much clearer perspective.

I was prescribed medication yet all that did was numb my experience of life even more so than depression - I didn't like it. I didn't feel like me. So I chose to find another way and understand why I felt like I did. I looked every where else other than where I needed to for help.

I spent over £30k on personal development and training. Finally I stopped looking 'outside' for the answers and realised it was always down to the quality of my thinking - so I learnt to understand the nature of thought because I have seen that's the cause of my low moods and feelings. Feelings and thinking are one. Life is an inside out experience.

The more I've seen that life is a psychological experience - that I experience my thinking the more I have seen there is another way to live. Don't get me wrong of course I still have low moods - that's just being human.

If you want to know more I talk about stress on my blog or please do get in touch with me. I would he happy to share more of my experiences. I really think for those who see this and are willing to trust it, depression is perhaps much easier to understand than people will have us believe, that life is there waiting for us to embrace and fully indulge in.

My wonderful doctor (slight sarcasm) put on my sicknote that I was 'feeling low' and had anxiety!


I was a yoyo for months begging for sicknotes cos I couldnt face work, going to work and the occupational health backing me but my manager (who didnt understand one bit) making me do the things I was anxious of and making me work when I was supposed to be on phased return.


I did after some months change my doctor but have to say the new one is much better - actually saying ' there isnt much more I can do for you' .  I am on a/d's and betablockers and have had sessions of counselling through my doctor.   He said to me you've had counselling - havent you learnt anything from that - what 5 sessions!


I have known the depths of despair, and feel so mad about the way I have been treated!

I have suffered mental illness for over twenty six years.I have been rejected and shunned by my family because they choose not to understand my illness.also during my illness I have suffered from isolation and the fact that mental health services don't help me to find friends even though I live in a large city makes my depression much worse.

Two things really helped me.


1) Find out about the Disability Discrimination Act - you may be covered by this.


2) Get a copy of the company's discrimination, harrassment/bullying and grievance procedures.


I was very ill about 8 years ago and my boss told me my contract would not be renewed. I smiled and capitulated and when home and cried for 6 months. I was good at my job and it was a rotten thing to do.


When I look back on it, I was let go by a woman who regularly drank in the office and my colleagues would let down her tyres to stop her driving home drunk. It said more about her than me and so I decided to learn and move on. Easier said than done I know the last thing you want to do with depression is fight, but knowledge is your best defence and sites like this share the important tid-bits. Companies rely on ignorance and capitulation. As they say 'Hope Floats' and I started to find out about my rights. I now do lectures on  depression, stigma and rights. You are not alone and if groups like this stand together and do a bit of naming and shaming people will have no choice but to start listening.


(What we really need is someone in goverment who admits to having a MH issue and get them to divert a few funds etc... our way! Fancy standing for parliament Ruby?)

I totally agree with you. I was terminated in 2004 from a job I was good at and loved due to depression. I took 4 years out and I am back in the health service working part time. I am so grateful to my local CPN service who put me in touch with a disability (for mental health) worker who helped me and gave me the confidence with knowledge around discrimination act. Mu current HR department and occy health are aware of my bi polar affective disorder am not brave enough yet to share with my work collegues.

Write something...Having worked within the "caring profession" for over 20 years I am aghast as to the attitude of these professionals towards mental health issues. I frequently come into contact with people who self harm either physically or with medication, and can not believe how some people react towards anyone who has been in such a place to have done this.

I myself have suffered with depression since giving birth nearly 14 years ago. I have had many good years where I have been well and had no symptoms, however my lows seem to be getting lower and blacker. I have been on and off medication during this time frame, only coming off under the supervision of my GP. At this moment in time I am still trying to climb out of that black pit, there is light visible now, but only with the support of a very understanding GP, husband and medication. At work though, I am finding the support of colleagues very noticible by it's absence. I have in fact been told, over the past 2 months, to pull myself together, stop attention seeking, be more aware of the others I work with as they too have had a bad year, I am not the only person who is suffering. What chance does Jo Public have?

I found myself telling my GP and a patient that having a mental health issue has made me the person I am today, and felt no shame in doing so. Please please how are we going to educate people about it, after all diabetes, epilepsy and hypothyroidism carry no stigma. 

I've worked in the public sector for 40 years most of that in the NHS where you might think there would be a level of understanding of mental health problems.  I have to say that this wasn't the case in my experience.  While my manager knew I was on depression medication, she continued to bully me and set unrealisable goals.  I was forced to do things that were very much against my beliefs.  This particular manager already had two other members of staff being seen regularly by occupational health because of the unreasonable pressure they were being put under.  There was one offical legal case pending regarding a previous employee yet nothing was done.  I was too ill to deal with it and remained on sick leave until my contract ended thereby ending a long and previously successful career.  If I sound bitter, I am.  I feel I've let too much time go by to take any action now.  The union were useless at the time.  I haven't worked since and at 56 have found it impossible to find a job despite my very full, varied and distinguished CV.  I've had awards, commendations etc but none of this counts now that I have the stigma of having been mentally ill.  I want to stop feeling this bitterness and to move on so would really be very grateful if anybody could share any similar experiences and maybe a way forward.

When I was given time off work due to anxiety/depression, I told my doctor if he wrote that on the note I would never be able to return to work again I was working in W.Y.M.A.S. and had a great fear that I would never drive an ambulance again.
