Mental health challenges are more common than we realize and can significantly impact workplace dynamics. In this episode, we explore our experiences working with colleagues who may display traits of personality disorders, such as Borderline Personality Disorder or Histrionic Personality Disorder and how these behaviors can affect professional relationships.
This candid conversation addresses the importance of recognizing mental health issues in the workplace while offering insights and strategies for social workers and professionals navigating similar situations. Though we include some humor, we approach this topic with the seriousness it deserves—mental health is no laughing matter.
If you or someone you know may be struggling with mental health challenges, help is available. For those in NYC, call 1-888-NYC-WELL. Nationwide, you can reach SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) at 1-800-662-HELP.
