Anxiety disorders – most common mental illness in the U.S.
For many years after the ADA was first passed there was an issue as to what constituted a disability and whether anxiety disorders, depression and the like constituted a disability under the ADA. The ADA was amended in 2008 to greatly expand the definition of disability and to treat a lot of conditions as disabilities under the ADA where questions had been raised before. We can assume that a huge percentage of anxiety disorders, PTSD, depression and related conditions are covered disabilities under the ADA. The courts and the EEOC acknowledge that these disorders are covered. This video reviews issues that employers may face and the scope of ADA protection.
