Abstract

The impact of mental illness also extends to the work environment. Mental disorders already rank third in terms of absence from work, behind only coronary heart disease and musculoskeletal injuries. Among the most incapacitating illnesses for work are depression, schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, alcoholism and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In cases of incapacity for work, the worker must seek Social Security to apply for sickness benefit, a benefit granted to INSS insured persons affected by an illness or accident that makes them temporarily unable to work. But what is the relationship between psychiatry and the expertise carried out by the INSS?
