The economic recession across Europe has had a profound impact on people with mental health problems, research from King's College London suggests.
Between 2006 and 2010, the rate of unemployment for those with mental health problems rose twice as much as for other people - from 12.7% to 18.2%.
Men and those with low levels of education were particularly affected, the study said.
The authors warn that social exclusion could increase among the mentally ill.
