[¶ 15] Blackhouse’s request for accommodation asserts that he suffers from PTSD, a severe anxiety disorder. Persons suffering from mental illness, including PTSD, may have significantly impaired thought processes that, in turn, interfere with one or more major life activities. A mental illness may also prevent an individual from accurately perceiving reality and, in this case, it may well turn out that Blackhouse’s allegations against Doe cannot be supported by evidence. His asserted diagnosis of PTSD, however, does not make Blackhouse immune from abuse, harassment, or stalking. Unfortunately, the converse is often true.
