What rights does a person who experiences mental health difficulties have at work?

A person with mental health difficulties, when those difficulties are considered a disability, has a number of rights in work.

The Disability Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to treat a disabled person less favourably than someone who does not have a disability for a reason related to that person’s disability.
