Bipolar Discrimination at Work
Bipolar discrimination remains a significant issue in the UK. Under the Equality Act 2010, individuals with bipolar are legally protected from discrimination in the workplace. Employers must provide reasonable adjustments to support their mental health and ensure equal treatment.
Discrimination Against Bipolar
Are you experiencing discrimination against bipolar? The law recognises bipolar as a disability if it substantially affects your daily life and lasts at least 12 months. Employers have a ‘duty of care’ to support employees’ mental health, including creating a safe work environment and preventing discrimination.
Reasonable adjustments, such as flexible working hours or additional rest breaks, should be made to accommodate the challenges faced by those with bipolar. Even when symptoms are not constant, employers must treat the condition as a disability. Collaborating with employees to find suitable adjustments ensures compliance with the law and fosters a more inclusive workplace.
Bipolar Symptoms
Bipolar disorder is characterised by extreme mood swings that range from manic (high) to depressive (low) episodes. The symptoms can vary greatly between these episodes:
- Manic Symptoms:
- Increased energy and hyperactivity
- Elevated or irritable mood
- Impulsive behaviour
- Difficulty sleeping, but not feeling tired
- Grandiose ideas or delusions
- Depressive Symptoms:
- Low energy or extreme tiredness
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Loss of interest in everyday activities
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feeling hopeless or suicidal
These mood swings can be severe, impacting daily functioning and relationships, but they may vary in intensity from person to person.
Don’t let discrimination against bipolar go unchallenged: contact us today for a confidential consultation.
