Myth or Fact

Eleveno,

I think you are right. How well we relearn or are capable of relearning dictates how well we will do.

I'm not certain that stress is focal, any more than having a physical handicap.  As the stigma reduces, people will give more slack to everyone.

I think if people with mental illnesses learn how to deal with stressful situations they can have a productive work experience and as the same as the so called normal people. It is here that CBT cames on handy, giving us the tools to deal better with stress at work and on other aspects of life as well.
I think people with mental illnesses lost their ability do deal with stress at some part in their lives and have to discover again these lost capabilities.

Members,
 
Myth: People with mental illnesses cannot tolerate the stress of holding down a job.

Fact: In essence, all jobs are stressful to some extent. Productivity is maximized when there is a good match between the employee’s needs and working conditions, whether or not the individual has mental health needs.
