Can I be fired for missing work due to mental illness?

I called out sick from work and after I disclosed that it was due to Bipolar 1 and PTSD, my supervisor stated how upset they were with me, and said they'd have to hire someone to replace me. I could only return on an "as needed basis." Which in our small dental practice means "when/if another dental assistant misses work. Can I apply for unemployment benefits? I've been released to return to work by my M.D., but can work only when someone else calls out.
