Through the ADA, an employee may request that reasonable accommodations be made through modifications to the employee's schedule or job environment. Reasonable accommodations may be required to minimize functional limitations for workers with psychiatric disabilities. These limitations may include difficulty in maintaining concentration, managing time pressure and deadlines, initiating interpersonal contact, or maintaining stamina throughout the workday. Disclosure may be especially difficult for people with psychiatric disabilities. It is in your company's best interest to safeguard your mental health and to offer reasonable accommodations necessary to help you on the job.
