Overview: Employers face a host of thorny problems ranging from limits on independent psychiatric evaluations to requests for accommodations of "stress." Article points out that there is no definitive list of covered mental impairments; employers must analyze disability claims and accommodation requests on a case-by-case basis. The statutory criteria for all impairments, mental or physical, should guide the analysis. Article also provides some tips for employees in context with this issue.
