ABSTRACT:
“What are the employment challenges in adults with severe mental illness who obtained professional degrees?” Individuals with a severe mental illness are at more of a risk of occupational exclusion (Patmisari et al., 2024). They are often at risk of unemployment and if they are employed, they are at risk of poor working conditions and discrimination. But does this still occur to individuals with severe mental illness who have obtained professional degrees.
