Antiwork

I’ve been disclosing my disability on job applications for six months now and have not received one interview. Is it a coincidence?

I’m a tenured marketing professional who has had no problem finding a new job when desired (have worked for big restaurant and retail brands). But since I’ve been applying to jobs with disability disclosures, I’ve been honest in saying that I have a disability. I have not received one interview. Is it a coincidence, prejudice, or is the job market that bad? ETA: I have major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, which are listed as disabilities on the disclosure question. I take maybe one or two days each fiscal quarter to take care of my mental health when it gets bad.
