Not as far as I know.
By it is against the law to discriminate against disabled persons.

I think it the law covers discrimiation against anyone for any medical problems they may have.

There is a very limited law against discriminating people with disabilities. It is not perfect and has numerous loopholes.
One loophole being the way courts have interpreted the definition of a disabled person. A person with a disability is a person with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
It's pretty hard to meet that level though. If your symptoms are all controlled by medication, then you are not considered substantially limited. The Supreme Court has really gutted the law in the way they have interpreted it.
