In general, Colorado and federal anti-discrimination laws protect individuals from being discriminated against based on things such as race, gender, sexual preference, religion, and disability. Discrimination based solely on a person's mental state or cognitive ability is not typically recognized as a protected category. That being said, if someone is being discriminated against based on a mental disability or condition that meets the legal definition of a disability, they may be protected by disability discrimination laws.
