Although some may argue that working people with a mental illness may be harassed, the workers can’t get harassed because it is illegal for another employee to discriminate against another employee with a mental illness. The working force protects employees with depression, PTSD, or other mental health conditions from discrimination and harassment at work. The ADA and FMLA cover employees with a mental health condition. “Employees with a mental health condition are protected against any form of harassment and discrimination at work because of privacy rights.”Pr Newswire 1 “Employees with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or another mental health condition are protected against discrimination and harassment at work, have workplace privacy rights, and may have a legal right to reasonable accommodations that can help them perform and keep their jobs,” says Robert Teachout. An estimate of 18% of workers in the U.S. have been reported in having a mental health condition.
