Depression among public servants Canada's biggest 'public health crisis': Expert

OTTAWA — Depression among Canada’s public servants is the country’s biggest “public health
crisis,” says a leading mental health expert.

It’s an affliction among the country’s nurses, teachers, police, military and bureaucrats at all levels of
government, undermining innovation, productivity, quality of service, policy-making and even the
relevance of our democratic institutions, said Bill Wilkerson, founder of Global Business and
Economic Roundtable on Mental Health.
