Mental illness can occur over extended periods in an environment filled with stress and negativity. Mental illness at work looks like increased anxiety and/or depression. Answer these questions:

1. While at work do you shake or start to feel your heartbeat out of your chest?

2. Are you crying at work because you are overwhelmed?

3. Are you dealing with harassment at work?

If you have answered yes to any of the above questions then you may be dealing with mental illness due to work-related stress. If you answered yes to any of these questions then start documenting your feelings, surroundings, and day-to-day operations. Any information will help the Van Nuys workers compensation lawyer to build a strong case for you.
