Carmina, I am glad that there are laws in the UK too for disabilities accommodations. However, I live in Asia, and mental illness is considered a taboo still. I cannot jeopardize my situation and think that disclosing my illness would not be beneficial for me. There are no laws here for mental illness in the workplace. They do have laws for receiving payment if you are disabled and can't work, but I don't qualify for these either. I think it is good to be open to some extent about mental illness in some places, however, all places are not as open as you might expect, especially Asia.
