Wow, thanks for sharing that Paddy. Its very distressing to see how our MI can be used against us. There is no way I would ever tell an employer that I'm bipolar (among other things). And now to know that it could be used against me! I guess laws are different in the US than in the UK but there has to be some sort of disabilities act, right? If there is, do you know if it covers MI? Are you required by law to disclose all medical issues when you work somewhere in the UK? But even knowing there is a disabilities act in the US, I have been treated very badly by a former employer (actually by many of the employees there) because I was "different" and ended up being "run off" because they made me so miserable, by law they couldn't fire me because of mental illness, so they made my life unbearable there. To top it off, they completely blackballed me (I worked for a university) and I am not allowed to be employed there ever again.
