Research on industrial injury caused by mental disease in Korea and countermeasures are currently actively underway due to increased social interest. Based on the results of this study, it is believed that industrial injury prevention studies due to domestic mental disease should be conducted continuously and realistic preventive measures should be prepared that can be applied to the workplace.
