Unless you are a pilot or a police person or some other who has life and death decisions to make daily or several times during the 8-hours, you have nothing to worry about. Fortunately there are laws in the US to protect us from discrimination or unlawful termination.

I go back to work right after having a treatment because I am afraid he will find out. He has alluded too getting rid of people for using the health insurance too much. I know that is against the law, but he is very smart and vindictive. I am probably the biggest user of our health insurance between my ECT and medication. I am feeling stressed because of all the hype about the employer not knowing about the pilots depression. Should an employer know/be able to find out, that you are being treated for depression?
