What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
I was committed to a mental hospital about a month ago. The day I was hospitalized, my employer terminated me (without giving a reason, NC is a fire-at-will state). I was wondering if this could be a viable legal case, at least under the protection of the Americans with Disability Act. The hospitalization itself is even related to my job because I have a severe mental illness, which was greatly affected by the constant criticism and verbal abuse from my direct supervisor (which the company was notified of prior to all of this, and did nothing), which ended up pushing me to becoming suicidal.
