Disability laws applicable to individuals with mental health disorders.

Disability laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act, protect individuals with mental health disorders from discrimination in employment, housing, and public services. These laws ensure that individuals with conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder have equal access and reasonable accommodations, such as flexible work hours or modified job duties, to perform effectively. They also safeguard their rights to privacy and prevent unjust treatment based on their mental health status, promoting inclusion and support within society.
