Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition, California law says loud and clear: you have rights. Your employer has responsibilities. And your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

Your pregnancy and leave rights in California. If you return from leave to find your role restructured, your responsibilities shrunk, your team changed, or your reporting relationship altered in a way that disadvantages you — that may be illegal retaliation or discriminatory treatment. Document everything from the moment you give notice of your leave.
