The "AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT" or A.D.A. protects a person's employment due to any disability, including mental illness that causes the person to need to take time off, and be "reasonably accommodated". The onus is on the employee, however, to inform the employer that they have a mental illness or disability that they need accommodations for. They do not, however, have to inform them during the interview process before they are hired. If you suffer a mental illness that happens after you are employed, your employer is required to work WITH you to accommodate your issues. (reduce your work load, work hours, give you different tasks to do that are not as stressful, etc) There are exceptions to this law, but this is a quick synopsis of it. The answer in essence is NO, you SHOULD not lose your job if you have a nervous break down, and if you DO, then you have options for getting it back, as well as a potential lawsuit!

According to the Surgeon General's Report, 21% of children in the United States suffer from mental health disorders. However, this reflects the number of reported cases.

Many who suffer anxiety have a mentall illness such as depression, bi-polar disorder, or schizophrenia. This in no way, however, means that you do have a mental illness. Some people suffer from extreme anxiety, but are otherwise completely normal. If you feel something is wrong, I advise you to talk to your doctor.
They think it has a stigma associated with it :)
Some sort of mental disorder. At the time they called all such complaints schizophrenia.

Yes, there is a statistical correlation that if someone in a family is diagnosed with a mental illness the probability is higher that others in the family will also have mental disorders (relative to a family with no known individuals with diagnosed mental illness). The cause of this correlation is unknown, but is believed to have both genetic and environmental contributions.
If you don't care for ketchup and don't want to eat anything that has ketchup on it, then no that is a personal preference and not any kind of mental illness. However, if you suffer from an irrational fear of ketchup that interferes with your activities of daily living, then this could be a symptom of mental illness.
No you can't. They can discriminate against any type of mental illness. You cannot also become a very good social worker because of you understanding of mental illness. Mental illness is still very stigmatized but there are many many people who suffer and many people who are highly functional in their jobs. You can read about the Disability Discrimination Act and go to SAMHSA.gov website for more information.
