ADHD Inside According to the Harvard Business Review , 10% of the country falls into the category of having an invisible disability. 88% percent of those struggling with these disabilities prefer not to mention it at work to their employers or coworkers to avoid stigma. Nonvisible disabilities, or otherwise known as invisible disabilities, are disabilities that are not immediately obvious to others, yet still affect a person's senses or daily activities. These disabilities range from physical, mental or neurological conditions. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, diabetes, depression, anxiety, Crohn's disease, and learning disabilities are all examples. Oftentimes secondary coping mechanisms are noticeable, but their diagnosed disabilities are not. This is a clear issue that is starting to become advocated for as society gets increasingly more comfortable talking about diversity, equity and inclusion. Individuals with invisible disabilities are often misund...

Imagine yourself at work next to your new coworker. They cannot stop tapping their feet and it makes your cubicle rattle. The sound of their pen clicking drowns out your other coworkers' voices. They start humming their favorite Guns N Roses song. You are about to go crazy. Why are they doing this? Why can they not just be silent and do the work they were assigned to?  Your new coworker has an invisible disability that you will not find out about until three weeks in when you have finally had enough of their non-stop movements and ask them why they cannot sit still. They tell you, unable to look at you in the eye because they are outright embarrassed. These annoying movements for you are their lifeline to help them focus. Nonvisible disabilities, or otherwise known as invisible disabilities, are disabilities that are not immediately obvious to others, yet still affect a person's senses or daily activities.

  Photo by:  https://haelaw.com/can-sexual-harassment-happen-outside-of-work/ A first job is widely regarded as an important milestone in a young person's life. It represented the beginning of financial independence, the development of workplace skills, and an introduction to professional responsibility. For many teenage girls, it is also their first exposure to adult workplace dynamics. Ideally, this experience serves as a foundation for confidence building while also helping with career development. However, for a significant number of young women that is not the case. The introduction is disrupted by experiences of sexual harassment in the workplace.  Although such conduct is sometimes minimized or characterized as an unavoidable aspect of life, the evidence suggests otherwise. Workplace sexual harassment is associated with meaningful and lasting psychological consequences that extend beyond the immediate environment where it occurs. Sexual harassment in the workplace ...

On one side, we are sold the "happy hour" lifestyle—an essential reward for the grueling 40-plus hour work week. On the other, we see a patchwork of underfunded public health initiatives. But while lobbyists in Washington fight to keep labels vague and taxes low, a quiet crisis is predatory: alcohol addiction is stripping the dignity from our communities and families. Alcohol dependency isn't a "moral failing". It is a predictable response to a society that prioritizes corporate profit over huma...

Effects of Bullying Bullying is often assumed to be a normal part of growing up, but research shows that the effects can follow an individual into adulthood. Bullying in school is a widespread issue that affects a large number of students across the country. For many people, issues such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, and substance abuse become the most common long-term consequences.  According to  Centerfor Violence Prevention , "26.1% of middle school students are bullied." Middle school is a critical stage in development, where individuals begin to create their identity and decide their place in society. Being bullied at a time of self-discovery can have serious consequences. Depression, for example, is a mental disorder that affects many students who are bullied in middle school. This mental disorder causes constant feelings of sadness and hopelessness that are difficult to escape. This disorder commonly follows a person into their post-graduate life. Expe...
