The number of people suffering from mental illness is rapidly increasing. The Japanese government has taken a number of measures such as stress checks, full-time industrial physicians, health management education, and compulsory establishment of a harassment counter, but unfortunately the current situation is accelerating due to the increase in remote work. As of 2017, the total number of people suffering from mental illness in the country is about 41.93 million. According to a survey on mental health by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the percentage of people suffering from depression or depression increased 22 times from 79% in 2013 to 173% in 2020. Since the coronavirus outbreak, there has been an increase in mental health disorders due to the difficulty of communication centered on online. The case of employees suddenly complaining of mental disorders one day and taking a leave of absence or retirement is a big negative for companies. In June 2022, all companies were obliged to establish a harassment consultation counter, and workplaces with 50 or more workers at all times are obliged to appoint an industrial physician, but I hear that even if an in-house consultation counter is established, employees can hardly consult. Amidst this situation, the "Smart Consultation Room," an online personal support service for corporations that provides online counseling by professional counselors with a variety of specialties, received a number of real consultations. From such a vast number of consultations, this book summarizes what personnel and labor representatives should do before employees develop mental disorders, and shows how personnel and labor representatives at corporations should respond. It is also a useful psychological support volume for people who suffer from mental disorders.
