Sounds to me less like you need to worry about people with mental disorders and more like you need to gain confidence in your new job position. But hey, I figure learning can never hurt. If I were you, since all mental health stuff seems to be kinda on shaky ground where you are, try learning about the more common ones, not just anxiety. I'd say if they're in your working environment they're most likely to be okay and this is a job they believe they can handle, not matter what their problems are. However, knowledge can only help you in this situation.

And here's the deal, if something does go down- say you have someone who is depressed and attempts suicide- it doesn't matter if there's no one technically qualified. It doesn't even matter who knows the most. The person who rises to the occasion and takes charge is the one who's in charge. I've seen it happen in first aid situations. Someone might be more knowledgeable about how to help someone hit by a car but if they don't step up and take charge it really doesn't matter. The only one who does is the person who actually becomes a leader of the situation and does something. If you wanna be that person, okay. Knowledge will help you but also just having the courage to step forward to offer aid is just as important.

And when you're learning about this stuff, stay away from Freud. Unless it's about dreams he's mostly bunk.

excellent answer is excellent

Thanks.

Sounds to me less like you need to worry about people with mental disorders and more like you need to gain confidence in your new job position.

But these aren't exactly mutually exclusive. If I'm leading people, I want to know how best to prepare in the even of shit hitting the fan, including anxiety attacks - same with just about any illness, physical or mental. I want to know if someone who I work with has asthma because not only does this mean I try to make sure they stay away from workplace allergens/airborn toxins, but also so that I know what to do if they do have an asthma attack. If someone has an anxiety disorder, then I would not only know when to proverbially have them on the floor and when to let them work the backshelves, but also know ahead of time how to help them if/when they do have anxiety attacks.

I'm not saying you don't have a point that people have good reasons for keeping these things private - absolutely they can be used to bully people. But it's not as if someone is just a dumbass or naive or a bully for wanting to know these things about the people around them - especially if it's their job to look out for the people around them.

But these aren't exactly mutually exclusive.

They're not but they're also not the same thing in any respect. That's why I said knowledge could only help the anon and why I said that if they choose to be that person that helps then they should learn as much as they can. However, they need that confidence, wherever they get it, or all their knowledge will be useless to them.

I didn't even mention bullying in this last response. However, I don't think someone needs to know about another's mental health unless it will become a problem in the workplace. If it's a problem like asthma is? Maybe if the person chooses to. (You know, as long as it won't cause severe problems for themselves or others. If it does, okay.) But if it won't cause problems and they don't want to tell anyone? It's absolutely none of your business. And really, it's less about bullying and more about getting fired.
