Socio-demographic, health, treatment, and labour market characteristics of sick-listed employees diagnosed with and treated for a mental disorder in Germany
Despite the majority having permanent, fulltime, white-collar jobs, the results highlight the vulnerability of persons with a diagnosed MD in the labour market, suggesting an urgent need for more clinical and work-directed aftercare. Women seem more disadvantaged than men but not regarding treatment and organisation characteristics, emphasising the importance of addressing gender differences in mental health and practice.
