Should I tell my manager about my mental health problems?

If you’re experiencing mental health problems and your manager doesn’t know it can be a very difficult decision whether to tell them. You might be worried about being treated differently. However, to be protected by the Equality Act you will need to tell your manager.

Mind talks you through the issues and gives guidance about how to have this conversation. You can also read Rethink Mental Health’s page about whether you should tell your employer about your mental health before you start a job.
