so, i dont know whether you have to do this in the US / Canada but I applied for an internal post recently at work and one of the questions was

"do you consider yourself to have a disability?"

Now, the guy I'd e working for knows I have problems, whether he knows specifically i;m bipolar i dont know cos i've not told him.

but i had to answer the question with yes, no or prefer not to answer. so i didn't answer.

I dont' believe i should get a job based on disability though lots of UK companies have a policy of POSITIVE discrimination - if you are disabled you're almost guaranteed an interview - and i hate that. why should me being ill get me a job? I want it based on the fact i can do it with my eyes closed.
