Abstract
Mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, are increasing in the U.S. However, people diagnosed with mental illnesses often experience stigmatization and discrimination in their workplace. The chapter examines how people with mental illness make decisions around revealing and, importantly, concealing their mental illness in the workplace. The concepts stigma and communication privacy management theory are used to examine the challenges associated with living with mental illness in the workplace. A case study is used to illustrate these concepts and provide a pedagogical context in which the factors around concealing mental illness in the workplace are situated. Finally, an analysis of the case study is presented using the conceptual and theoretical frameworks applied in the present chapter.
