Kakalak what is your diagnosis? If it is bipolar it qualifies as a targeted disability under the ADA, which means that employers are required by law to make "reasonable accommodations" for you. That requires you to disclose to your employer though, and the decision to do that depends n your situation, only you can know if that will work or not. There is a lot of legal precedent where people sued their employers and won, but you probably do not want to go through all that.
If its just depression, I am not sure it falls under the ADA so that might be a little more complicated.
