I think the key to disclosing and showing discrimination is the paper trail record of contact with you (such as by e-mail.) This trail should go before you disclosed and after to show any changes. I know a woman who printed off every single e-mail ever sent to her by anyone at her job. She kept them in order in a folder. She was fired (not for bipolar but for something else,) and filed for unemployment. The company denied her because she was fired, not laid off. Well, she took her stack of e-mails to the unemployment office and when they witnessed how she was treated she won.

I'm serious, if you're in an abusive job environment you need to prove it. If you do disclose and you're treated worse or different after, then you have proof. It's sad we live in such a world.
