Mental illness in the workplace is easy to ignore. Anxiety can be chalked up to job stress. Depression to having a bad day. I really wanted to dramatize the problem by showing a scenario where someone comes in direct contact with a co-worker that’s clearly in distress. What do they do? Intervene or walk away? I wanted the viewer to feel the dilemma. Give them enough time to think about what they’d do. And hopefully be appalled that the actor in the video chose the easy way out.
