sick building syndrome


Explanation:
Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a combination of ailments (a syndrome) associated with an individual's place of work (office building) or residence. Swedish language references on google indicate that the term "tillitsbristsjukdom" is an umbrella term used when someone is diagnosed with a disease caused by SBS.

loss of trust disorder


Explanation:
See the first link for this Swedish description (you might have to register to see this at the link):
"Det vi nu ser framför oss är människor som lider av brist på tillit, till sig själv, till medmänniskor, till samhället och till meningen med livet.
Otryggheten kostar på. Mental ohälsa och sjukdomar frambringade av psykologiska skäl, av oro för framtiden, av oron att mista jobbet. Utbrändhet och stress är ofta orsakad av bristen på tillit.
Tillitsohälsan som begrepp inom sjukvårdens område suddar ut gränsen mot rättsamhället."

Second link is uses of "loss of trust disorder".

Sample text:

"Another problem resulting from temporary employment is that these temporary jobs and the need to hire extra hands most often result from heavy production loads with short completion requirements, causing heavy work loads both on the permanently employed and on those called in. This will probably, in addition to the lack of trust syndrome, increase the risk of work injuries...."
