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!

It's important to prioritize your mental health and seek support if needed. In some cases, taking a medical leave of absence may be necessary to focus on recovery. It's best to communicate openly with your employer about your situation to explore options and receive necessary accommodations.

Do starfish have cephalization?

"Cephalization" means that the animal has a defined "head" region in which there is a lot of nervous tissue (such as the brain in humans). Sponges are not cephalized because they do not have defined head region nor do they have a central location for their nervous system. The nervous system in sponges is very loose because their cells generally work more individually as opposed to being commanded by a nervous system.
