Mental illness counts but as someone who has experience with it first hand and has someone who has been pushed to my limit by someone else with a different form of the same issue.
The Americans with Disabilities Act covers the liability aspect. It's not even necessary to specify what specific diagnosis etc. That said, all the ADA does is give reasonable accommodations for someone to function on the job in the same way as other people.
It is our jobs to tow the line too. We have to do our part. We also need compassion for the stable/people without mental illnesses in our lives. Many times I see many of us shitting on them and I have been there. When I realized what my responsibility was, I woke up. When I was riding the manic highs and living a recurrent train wreck of a life, I really wore people down to the ground.
Mental health is no different than being sick. However, we have to understand that nobody owes us anything.
