DO YOU SUFFER FROM SAD (SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER)? IF SO, MAKE SURE YOUR CA EMPLOYER IS RECOGNIZING YOUR MEDICAL DISABILITY.
CA employment law protects you from being discriminated against by your employer if you suffer from a recognized medical disability, such as SAD. Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a type of depression that affects most people during the late fall and winter, into March. While SAD is most common in young adult women, it can affect men or women of any age. Fatigue, declining sexual interest and weight gain are other common symptoms. However, if you suffer from SAD, there is hope! Treatment includes antidepressants, therapy and exposure to intense lamps that simulate natural light.
If your SAD is a recognized medical disability, it is up to your employer to provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disorder. This might include time off to see your doctor, frequent breaks, and help in setting up a light-therapy lamp at your desk. Additionally, it is against the law for your employer to fire you, demote you, or not promote you because of your medical disability. An experienced employment attorney can help you fight for your employment rights.
