A 2025 National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) report provided data, gathered in January 2025, regarding the status and perception of mental health in the workplace. Results indicate that workers continue to experience burnout, and women, caregivers, and LGBTQ+ employees are the most vulnerable to mental health issues and the associated stigma. Additionally, a third of employees polled indicated they had taken time off from work for mental or physical health-related reasons (the two are inextricably tied), while an equal amount reported supporting a coworker going through a mental health crisis.
