Re: Postpartum depression and unsympathetic employer in San Diego

You do not say whether your daughter's psychiatrist has certified her condition as a disability. If it is a disability, the employer must make "reasonable" accommodations. What is reasonable is determined by the circumstances of the employment. You don't say what type of work your daughter does, or in what type of company. Depending upon her position, it may or may not be reasonable for her to work from home. (For example, someone working in a retail establishment or acting as a receptionist or security guard would need to be present at the workplace in order to do the job.)

Is any of this depression job related, if so may make sense to gou out and claim work comp. Is any of your health problem related to work? If so, it may be Work Comp, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.
