I was a professor and extremely depressed. A coworker asked what was wrong and I told her, along with that I was having suicidal thoughts. She reported this to the Dean who contacted HR. HR wrote a letter to my psychiatrist (now how did you get that info?) My psychiatrist said I needed to get out of there for awhile and wrote a medical leave of absence request. HR approved it.... When I returned to work I reported to HR as required and the HR supervisor and my Dean were there. I was presented with a letter to sign that said I would not disclose my diagnosis or symptoms to any faculty, staff or students. I was told that I could not return to work unless I signed. I had no choice...I signed. They certainly don't require that of people returning from heart surgery or any other medical disorder! We also wrote up an accommodations plan and I returned 1/2 time for 1 semester. The next semester all three accommodations were ignored and not implemented. I lasted about 4 weeks and I was back on leave. Later I was told I had to go up for tenure. My chair said because of my absences the department would not grant me tenure (this statement and plan was against the university rules). I ended up being released as disabled. It was all a horrible experience.
