Addressing the Signs of Mental Health Decline in the Workplace

In a recent U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation (USCCF) blog post, “How Forward-Looking Companies Can Address the Signs of Mental Health Decline in the Workplace,” Dr. Anton C. Bizzell discusses how business leaders can learn the signs of mental health disorders in the workplace and shares strategies employers can implement to boost company morale. As a small business owner and advisory board member for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Dr. Bizzell has witnessed first-hand how negative repercussions due to an unfavorable environment could impact employees’ mental health.
The initial step for any business owner looking to address mental health in their workplace is to learn the signs of decline in mental health before it has a much larger domino effect. If an employee’s mental health is altered due to discouragement at work, there are strategies employers can implement to help manage mental health decline and boost company morale, Dr. Bizzell writes.

Dr. Bizzell Speaks About the First FDA-Approved Treatment for Ebola

Dr. Anton C. Bizzell shares his insights in the Verywell Health article, “Regeneron Earns First-Ever FDA Approval For Ebola Treatment,” about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Inmazeb, an antibody cocktail designed to treat the Ebola virus. A mixture of three monoclonal antibodies administered via injection is the first FDA-approved treatment for the virus. The drug is manufactured by Regeneron, the same company behind the antibody cocktail aimed at treating COVID-19. The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) has been on the ground fighting the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo. “The approval of Inmazeb is not only a big deal, it is the approach to prevent a future Ebola pandemic worldwide,” Dr. Bizzell tells Verywell.

Lessons for COVID-19 Recovery From the Ebola Epidemic

In a recent Psychology Today article, Dr. Anton C. Bizzell highlights some of the lessons The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) learned during the most recent Ebola virus epidemic. Bizzell partnered with local, national, and international groups to improve health outcomes and mental health consequences in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These lessons can help address the global mental health crisis already emerging due to COVID-19.

“We cannot focus solely on the transmission of COVID-19,” Dr. Bizzell writes. “We must formulate an innovative and sustainable response that addresses the global mental health crisis already emerging.”

Dr. Bizzell’s behavioral health expertise is highlighted in his recent article in the Behavioral Healthcare Executive, “Strategic Approach to Care Coordination Drives Better Outcomes in ER.” While coordinating this care is critical, it is often challenging—or even overlooked—in the complex, sometimes fragmented U.S. healthcare system.

Dr. Bizzell states he has witnessed first-hand hospitalizations that could have been prevented if individuals with mental health disorders had received appropriate support as they transitioned from different levels of care. When a patient leaves an emergency department or a hospital, there must be a plan in place to help them transition in a consistent and coordinated manner to any additional services and treatments they might need, whether these services address a mental health condition, a substance use disorder, or both.

Continuity of care must remain a top priority for our healthcare system, especially during this pandemic, as more people struggle to manage their mental health and substance use disorders. In contrast, emergency departments and healthcare systems may be taxed by COVID-19. Creating workable solutions to these complicated access and service delivery challenges can lessen the burden on our care teams, healthcare institutions, available resources, and, more importantly, save lives.
