The Government says employers must do more to improve conditions at work for people with mental illness - something one in four of us will suffer from at some point.

Research shows 90% of people with mental illnesses - such as manic depression - do want to work, the BBC reported.

A Confederation of British Industry (CBI) spokesman said:

"Employers, especially small firms, need more support and advice in helping employees with mental ill-health, so we welcome the Department of Health's promise to listen to business' needs and to develop commonsense guidance."
