Have you noticed that the ADA does not really protect those of us with Bi-Polar? Think about it! When you try to find a job if you list your disability chances are you won't get the job? Worse yet if you don't list it then we have to remain underground because the system won't treat you fairly? How do you handle your work situation if you are working or seeking work? I've been having trouble finding a new job and I'm afraid to file for disability because I know if I do, I may never have an opportunity to work again. How do you feel about this topic?
