GETTING MEN AND WOMEN RECEIVING DEPRESSION-RELATED SHORT-TERM DISABILITY BENEFITS BACK TO WORK: WHERE DO WE BEGIN?

Abstract

During the past two decades, there has been a growing awareness of the impact of mental illness on the population (Regier et al., 1988; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1999; World Health Organization, 2001). However, only recently have issues surrounding its effect on the labor force been raised (Berndt et al., 2000; Dewa & Lin, 2000; Kessler et al., 1999; Marcotte et al., 1999; Stewart et al., 2003).
