does the Americans with Disabilities Act cover mental illnesses such as depression,schizophrenia,bipolar,ect or just learning disabilities?It mentions dyslexia those disorders but didn't mention bipolar or schizophrenia or major depression.

It covers physical and mental disabilities, so yes, mental illnesses are covered -- and if you would spend a little time in front of your computer and type a few words into a search engine, you could answer almost all your questions! :-)
