		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re currently working on a post about bipolar work-related issues. In the meantime, I&#8217;d like to gather input from consumers, attorneys, occupational therapists, and others who&#8217;ve dealt with these issues or counseled others on how to deal with them.

(They&#8217;re like cops &#8211; there&#8217;s never one around when you need one.) I plan on interviewing the attorney and posting a Q&#38;A here on strategies and tips.
