These problems include the increase in the number of long-term absences from work due to mental health problems, the considerable number of the suicides, the increase in the number of applications and certifications for workers' compensation for mental disorders, and the implementation of stress checks. The impact caused by mental health problems is a huge burden for both the people with mental health problem and the companies.
