Occupational Psychiatry

Occupational Psychiatry is a branch of Occupational Medicine that focuses on the mental health of workers and how their job environments affect their psychological well-being. It addresses issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions that can arise due to work-related factors. Occupational psychiatrists assess these conditions, provide treatment, and consult with employers to create a healthier workplace. Their goal is to improve mental health outcomes for employees while promoting productivity and job satisfaction. Essentially, they aim to ensure that work supports rather than harms mental health.
