"Consider any workplace accommodations that can help you function more effectively at work. Under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), you have a right to reasonable accommodations, but you can’t hold your employer accountable unless you disclose the reasons why you need special accommodations. If you are dead set against disclosing that you have bipolar disorder, you can always request accommodations anyway, simply stating that these accommodations will make you happier and more productive, but to gain some legal leverage, disclosure is necessary. Remember, your employer can’t fire you for having bipolar disorder."

The ADA site is very informative. I wish I had known about this when I was fired after 13 years at a local hospital.
