Description of Mental Health and Wellness Services

PSYCOLOGY SERVICES

In Portugal, anxiety or mood disorders have a high rate, it is estimated that 42.7% of Portuguese people suffer from these disorders throughout their lives, according to studies by the Unified Health System. These disorders have relevant implications in terms of productive capacity, which can translate into losses, reforms and drops in productivity and often lead to the consumption of medicines. In Portugal, the consumption of antidepressants tripled between 2000 and 2017.

At the same time, a recent study carried out in the United Kingdom revealed that around 12.7% of daily absences from work are due to mental health problems.

Burnout, defined as “a syndrome resulting from chronic stress in the work environment that has not been well managed”, will, from January 2022, be included in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization (WHO).

These data show the urgency of talking about mental health in the workplace, as the person’s mental and professional life are closely related and the need for action by employers.

PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK ASSESSMENT

According to the International Labor Organization, psychosocial risks represent a set of perceptions and experiences of the worker, defined as factors influencing the health and well-being of the individual and the group, arising from the individual’s psychology, structure and function of the organization from work. These factors are likely to influence health, performance and job satisfaction. They include social aspects, such as forms of interaction within groups; cultural aspects, such as traditional methods of conflict resolution; and psychological aspects such as attitudes, beliefs and personality traits.

Psychosocial factors are inherent to the conditions and organization of work and influence people’s health, both psychologically and physically.
