What is the current state of the law on compensation for mental health issues?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Pedroza v. Brb, 624 F.3d 926 (9th Cir. 2010):

In Oregon, the legislature in 1998 added a provision that barred compensation for mental disorders unless it is a product of conditions other than generally inherent in every working situation or reasonable disciplinary, corrective or job performance evaluation by the employer or cessation in employment. Pet. Br. 29. This is codification of the Marino-Sewell doctrine. Prior to this legislation, Oregon law recognized compensability of psychological injuries as a result of legitimate personnel decisions. See Korter v. EBI Companies, 46 Or.App. 43, 610 P.2d 312 (1980).
