We recognise and accept that people with long term medical conditions and disabilities are more likely to be depressed, but have assumed that the depression is due to chronic pain, lack of sleep, and the constraints and limitations imposed on daily life by those conditions.<\/p>\n
Chronic inflammation e.g. colitis, arthritis and dermatitis and other conditions also play a significant role in the number of cases and severity of depression. New and exciting treatments are on the horizon, which may explain why some mental health symptoms and conditions seem resistant to treatment. There is strong evidence that we must come out of judgement and stopassuming that mental health is a \u2018won\u2019t do\u2019 attitude and remove the barriers that make it a \u2018can\u2019t do\u2019 health problem<\/p>\n
There are many wellbeing sources of support to help businesses invest in their employees\u2019wellbeing. Many of these focus on therapeutic interventions to help sufferers \u2018manage\u2019 or \u2018take control of their conditions\u2019.<\/p>\n
The treatment of mental health is a fast changing environment. NHS, non-profit sector and private counselling services have never been so popular, with mental health and mindfulness products filling the app stores, making it d difficult for users to differentiate between them.<\/p>\n
Initiatives such as the Mental Wealth Lab have been set up to develop an open, supportive and caring environment in which everyone can thrive and flourish.
Now we know that one size does not fit all, we need to understand why and how some people respond better to treatments and interventions than others. Much is being done to invest in and measure the impact of NHS mental health services, but the 3rd sector and employers hold a vast bank of data that could help individuals to make informed choices and select their owntreatments to \u2018get it right first time\u2019.
So what does this mean for employers and wellbeing providers?<\/p>\n
Key to this is a system that protects individuals\u2019 confidentiality while providing essential trendanalysis to enable employers and the economy to become more productive and competitive whilst increasing their Mental Wealth. Retention of skilled and experienced staff is a key driver for the bottom line, and as employees work longer into what was previously retirement, the opportunity for long-term conditions increases.<\/p>\n
Lumien, a software platform from Evolyst, helps employers to understand the mental health landscape of their organisation and make informed decisions and quantify their return on investment in wellbeing services and products driven through careful data analysis.<\/p>\n
Evolyst can support organisations make informed choices which affect the mental wealth of the business by calculating the impact of wellbeing strategies and investments, to increase resilience, productivity and reduce presenteeism, leavism and absence.<\/p>\n
