Abstract: Mental disability is a consequence of a mental disorder, classified by WHO under the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). This review, addresses the issue of job placement of people with mental health disorders. The topic is quite sensitive given the social stigma against these people seen by society as “different” and for this reason, often underestimated and discriminated against and excluded in both social and employment spheres. The main regulations dealing with the protection of people with disabilities are discussed, namely Law No. 104 of February 5, 1992, “Framework Law for the Assistance, Social Integration and Rights of Handicapped Persons,” and Law No. 68 of March 12, 1999, which introduced the current system of employment of people with disabilities.
