ABSTRACT

Functional impairment, with associated work disability, is one of the major consequences of mental illness (Gold and Shuman 2009; Schultz and Rogers 2010; Gold and Vanderpool 2011). Psychiatric disorders consistently rank in the top 10 leading causes of disability among adults in the United States and other parts of the world (World Health Organization 2008; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2011; National Institute of Mental Health 2014).
