A new study from Aarhus University shows that people diagnosed with a mental disorder on average work 10.5 years less compared with the general population. The study is the first to map an estimate of working years lost associated with mental disorders. By looking at the data of all people aged 18-65 years registered in Denmark over a period of 22 years, researchers from Aarhus University have been able to shed light on some of the consequences faced by those diagnosed with a mental disorder. The study, published in The Lance, followed a total of 5,163,321 individuals in Denmark, 488,775 of whom were diagnosed with a mental disorder. The researchers found that all diagnosed mental disorders are associated with a substantial loss of working life.
