In a word, sometimes. Mental health conditions can sometimes be covered by workers’ comp if the employee can prove the mental or psychiatric problem was primarily caused by the job. Generally, it must be shown that the mental condition was the result of abnormal work conditions.
Here is a link to a very good article that discusses this issue:
Mental Health and Well-Being in Workers Compensation.

Staffing Industry Analysts, using NCCI statistics, produced a study that documents the trend of decreasing accident rates, and increasing work comp expenses.
Here is the link to the summary of this excellent report.
https://www2.staffingindustry.com/Editorial/Industrial-Staffing-Report/Dec.-21-2017/Trends-in-workers-compensation-for-industrial-staffing-firms
The main reason most rates are increasing for light industrial staffing companies is that health care costs are increasing at a faster rate than the decline in accident frequency.
For this reason alone, most staffing companies should be regularly examining their work comp costs, and determining if they are using the most appropriate and least expensive comp program for their staffing company.
