New Delhi: Doctors at AIIMS pitched for spreading awareness about mental illnesses among the higher-ups of companies so that they can help employees suffering from such conditions get treatment.
On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, Dr Rajesh Sagar, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, AIIMS said there is a wrong perception among people that a mentally ill person cannot work properly.
“If he or she gets treatment, that person would be able to work and could be productive for the company. We have to come out of this perception,” he said.
