Now that some states have restricted workers' compensation claims related to stress, the author predicts that the Americans with Disabilities Act, with its many ambiguous definitions, will become a favored target of litigation brought by employees seeking redress for work-related grievances. The ADA is reviewed in terms of the potential problems that employees increasingly are facing in regard to mental disabilities.
