Mental illness is a disability and is protected by the ADA, so if she had been an employee and not a student she would have had stronger legal protections.
I'm not sure how it works in your reversed example of an employee supporting an employer. The decent thing to do is to support the reasonable adjustments, and to not be a dick when they return to work.
And, while they might require some time off, and maybe hospitalisation, they probably shouldn't lose their job amd have to reapply for it.
