How can I prove my pain and suffering?

How can I prove my pain and suffering?  If you claim intentional infliction of emotional distress in an employment discrimination case, you will need to demonstrate the employer’s actions were extreme and outrageous.  I will warn you that most states have a high bar to succeeding on this claim.  Most states allow intentional infliction of emotional distress in the sexual discrimination and sexual assault context in the employment context.  In all other protected trait cases such as age, race, disability, etc. the courts are reluctant to lean on the side of the employee and outright dismiss these cases.

If you have a claim for intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, you can prove damages by providing treatment notes and diagnosis by your mental health treatment provider.  Typically, employees who suffer from emotional distress assert they suffer from weight loss, weight gain, problems in their marriage, depression, anxiety, cognitive dysfunction, etc.
