Is depression included in the Americans with disabilities act?

Specific disabilities are not included. It depends on what title of the ADA you want to cite and how it is impacting your interacting with the specifications of that act. A person who was unable to work due to severe depression and was hospitalized and now wants to return to work - is considered a person with a disability under Title 1. A person who has periodic mild depression and has bad days and is unable to interact with people in a friendly manner and is working as a receptionist may find that they are not protected by the ADA as interacting with people in a consistently friendly was is an integral feature of the job and they are unable to do it.

about 5 years ago, I started to fall into a really depressive episode. At first I thought it was only because I had a bad break from a relationship but the feelings wouldn't go away even after I got a new girlfriend. It was wrecking my life until a point where it was seriously affecting my work and personal life.

She was very worried but at the same time couldn't understand why I was still sad and thought that I still couldn't let go of my previous relationship. Being the wonderful person that she is, she put aside her feelings and suggested I go for psychiatric evaluation. Many months later and even more anti-depressants, I was not coming close to being better at all.

After doing some research online, I found out the real cause as you described it really makes a lot of sense and purchased this program. The results were simply astonishing. I read this book over three times and put all words in action. Using this method, I've kept my depression at bay ever since. Up to date I'm still living happily with my girlfriend.

Depression Free Method?

I guess this begs the question; "What kind of accommodations could be provided by an employer for someone with depression?" I mean it's not like you can add an handicapped parking spot or a handicapped bathroom and have it do any good for some with depression. I'm not sure how such an illness can be helped by anyone else other than the individual him/herself.
