"Psych." To many in the workers' comp field, it sounds like one of "those" words--although it actually has five letters. Many states have laws written with the specific intent of disallowing any psychological or psychiatric component in a work comp claim. Yet, despite efforts to banish it, "psych" is sneaking back in.
In light of the current trends, we must ask some fundamental questions about the relationship between mental disorders and workers' compensation injuries. Find the answers to these questions in our new whitepaper:
- Do work comp injuries trigger psychological disorders?
- Are individuals injured at work more likely to have pre-existing psychological conditions?
- Does the presence of a psychological condition impact recovery from a work comp injury?
- What are the other complicating factors?
- What are the potential solutions?
