In this paper we examine the view of mental Illness is in a male dominated organization and what strategies are used to handle mental Illness by the organization and the individual. We conduct semi structured qualitative interviews with persons who have in some way been in contact with mental Illness within the organisation, we then encode our material from a themed analysis.
