Ada Health History Form: Fill & Download for Free

Contact HR.That is WILDLY inappropriate, and offensive. It actually could be considered discrimination, and a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I would file a formal complaint as well. There is ZERO excuse for your boss making such disparaging comments, and they have no right or business to your health history. They do not have the right to ask why you're taking a day off, much less why you're going to a doctor's appointment.In the future, do not tell your employer about your treatments for your health conditions. There was really no reason to tell them what medication you're taking, and they have no reason to know what medical conditions you have unless you have petitioned them (as per your rights from the ADA) for reasonable accommodations related to your depression/anxiety.If this was a public conversation--as in, not in a private location, solely between you and your boss--it is doubly a violation of your rights, because she revealed private information about you to your coworkers.

Well…none actually. As long as the individual in question remains stable (meaning asymptomatic) and is capable of doing the work required, I think they can be hired for pretty much anything.Now some job applications I have seen ask about mental health history, and some people will put they have had issues in the past. HR may see that on their application and just remove it from the pile of applications due to that, but legally, they’re not supposed to do because of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?But most people with any serious health issue knows that even though their applications aren’t supposed to be removed due to those issues, they know it still happens anyway, so they will not be honest about their issue in order to avoid having that be a factor.Having an SMI (Serious Mental Illness) doesn’t preclude people from working in almost any field, but if the person becomes unstable and symptomatic, they would definitely have problems keeping that job. It’s not that those with SMIs can’t get a job, or can’t get the required training or degrees, it’s more often the case it is harder for someone with an SMI to remain completely asymptomatic and appear competent enough to stay in that position.I am a good example of that. I have bipolar I-rapid cycling (with psychosis), gad, and cptsd. I am also halfway through a Master's Degree in Counseling and Human Development and already hold a BA in Human Services and Counseling. I’ve held jobs that were considered higher up on the totem pole in the mental health field (higher pay grades). But I couldn’t keep those jobs because I became symptomatic and had to resign.

Your mental health history is your personal information, to share or not as you decide.The advantage of sharing certain parts which provide a context for your school grades is twofold. First, although Bs are good grades, if your illness prevented your achieving still higher grades, you might wish to consider some disclosure. The key to the decision, in my view, is whether the explanation shows how the illness hurt performance in the past, but will do so less in the future.Second is being able to take advantage of parts of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), which you should explore.
