The hierarchies, politics, and constant stress of the average job situation can be a lot to manage for anyone. If you add a mental health issue to contend with on top of all that, it can get downright fraught. Megan Delp is a therapist and the Director of Workplace Mental Health for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).  She’s here to field some questions, including several from listeners, about your rights, how to spot your allies, and how to take care of yourself at your job.
