YOUR SPOUSE ABOUT YOUR<br />
CHEATING, OR GETTING IN A<br />
HUFF WHEN SOMEONE IG<br />
NORES YOU IN A BAR, WON’T<br />
QUALIFY YOU.<br />
If you are diagnosed with clinical depression,<br />
bipolar disorder, organic<br />
brain syndrome, an emotional or men-<br />
ities,<br />
any of which limits a major life<br />
<br />
