Educational orientation — not a diagnosis

Workplace conflict, job insecurity or career distress

Work can become a major source of distress through conflict, unclear roles, overload, discrimination, moral injury, redundancy or loss of direction.

Immediate danger, suicidal intent, violence, severe confusion, sudden loss of function or loss of contact with reality require urgent local emergency or medical support.
