Should employers be required to provide mental health support?

...

Mental health has become an increasingly important issue in modern workplaces, especially as burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression continue to affect employees across many industries. In recent years, more companies have introduced mental health initiatives such as therapy coverage, wellness programs, mental health days, and employee assistance services. Supporters argue that employers have a responsibility to protect employee well-being, particularly when workplace environments can directly contribute to mental strain and decreased quality of life. Critics, however, question whether providing mental health support should be considered an employer obligation or a personal/private matter, and whether mandatory requirements would place unrealistic expectations or financial burdens on businesses.
