I was diagnosed bipolar II two years ago. I work in federal law enforcement, and just recently was cleared for return to full duty w/o restrictions this summer. However, the Federal Occupational Health Dr. also stated that it was "highly encouraged" that I ensure I take my prescribed medications.
The issue now is... my employer is attempting to make it a condition of my employment/return to duty that I provide a weekly statement that I am taking my medications, monthly statement that I am keeping appts with my psychiatrist and psychologist. Is this legal? My last supervisor had diabetes and required daily insulin shots. He was never required to provide written statements to the agency that he was taking his medication. Any help would be appreciated.
