5 Signs You May Have a Mentally Ill Team Member
A certain amount of stress is normal, even desirable, in the workplace. But there are some red flags that point to a mental illness. Here are the 5 signs to look for:

- Getting into arguments with co-workers over trivial matters
- Reacting to disappointing news or events with angry outbursts
- Going out of their way to avoid people, or changing the subject when asked if they’re ok
- Difficulty completing tasks that previously they’d have no trouble with
- General irritability and prickliness
These behaviours not only affect the performance of the person, but they cause disruption and conflict in the team.
