Mental Illness in the Workplace The types of illness can vary greatly from social phobias that cause people not to be able to function at work because of always feeling watched, depression, and alcohol or drug use (which is often a residual of depression or vice versa). Within these varying illnesses one can note two different reactions to these illnesses from coworkers and employers.
