I'll be honest. I don't think many employers are that understanding and supportive about mental illness,especially where I live now. They can easily hire someone without an illness. However, if you are hired and request accommodations, they are by law supposed to provide accommodations if you live in the USA. If your co-workers are not understanding about your situation, they may treat you differently. I would only ask for accommodations if they are absolutely necessary. It would be nice if we lived in a fair world where everybody is supportive and nice, but the reality is different.
