Abstract: Mental well-being is and will continue to be part of what defines an individual's health today. Even if it is a subject with great international notoriety, many cultures and nations do not have concrete definitions or even words to describe mental health and its diseases. Moreover, this is present today most often in the workplace. Examples like late hours worked overtime, mixing family time with work time, neglecting sleep and proper nutrition are related in the action of reaching a target or a deadline. All these few examples are just the premature actions of those who predict and describe the beginnings of mental disorders, such as depression or advanced insomnia. The purpose of this paper was to be observed the actions and costs registered at the European level to combat these mental health conditions, as well as the influence of the pandemic both during and its perception after the lifting of restrictions in Romania at the workplace. Also, to find out the influence of this mental health condition on the economic efficiency and the situations recorded on the labor force as well as the perception of people who have a job in a field or company with a very low notoriety on the labor market. It was wanted to know and highlight the presence of stress that leads to the instability of mental health in Romania both among adults and in the case of young adults. The existence of promotion campaigns in Romania at a workplace and the relationship with the superiors in the event of the occurrence of situations that trigger these states of restlessness and anxiety, as well as the identification of ways to combat problems at the local and national level, are also present as subject of interest in this paper.
