I've had physical health concerns brushed off in the past but I'm very fortunate to have a physician now who absolutely doesn't do that.
I was not promoted because I didn't publish enough articles (I'm in academia) but they did promote someone who had the same number of publications as I did the following year. My dean knew about my mental illness and yes I think that played a role in the decision. But I'm at a university where I'm happy now, and I'm a full professor, so Bully to them.
