What about stress unrelated to a disability?

The Court of Appeal found that it was discrimination to dismiss an employee due to their actions caused by stress which was related to their disability. https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/co...uVLlpw.twitter.

What about stress related to a medical condition such as high blood pressure? High blood pressure is not classed as a disability but the condition certainly increases the level of stress you are placed under.

Unless the medical condition qualifies as a disability there will be no discrimination.

Isnt that in itself discriminating against those without a disability?

No, it isn't.

And yet over in Ireland, anxiety is classed as a disability!

OK, her dismissal was discriminatory as it was because of her imputed disability.
