Workers’ Compensation Insurance can cover mental conditions. However, for this to happen, you really need to be able to link the mental condition to a specific event – such as a traumatic event experienced on the job or the development of a physical problem which then lead to your mental problem. Mental health issues are rarely compensable in and of themselves; linking them to physical events is key to receiving workers’ comp benefits based on psychiatric issues.
