How can I identify overtaxing or mental illness?
We want to raise your and your colleagues’ awareness so that you can identify signs and typical behaviour in case of overtaxing or mental illness at an early stage. The signs are diverse, as illnesses are complex and can be very different from one person to the next. Below are some signs that might suggest taking a closer look at a situation – for colleagues and yourself.
change of typical habits
build-up of stress and/or forgetfulness
increasing concentration difficulties
constant passive conduct in meetings and defensive reactions
emotions displayed either deeply entrenched or very inconsistent
withdrawal and distancing from other team members
explicit articulation of overtaxing
The right way to react in this case depends on your personality and that of the other person. In any case, you can draw attention to competent support. Details of services and contact persons are available on this website.
