Physical or mental harm caused by pressure at work, such as an unmanageable workload or a lack of support. It is not a diagnosis on its own, but it can lead to conditions like anxiety or depression that the law does protect.

In practice

An employer who knows your workload is making you ill has to actually reduce it, not just offer counselling; see Intel Corporation v Daw and Dickens v O2.
