freedome Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 sorry if I did not fraze that right to start with. But if you have a history of depression or mental health issue can you go in to this field and get a good job and do you have to really disclose your history I am sorry if I asked this in the wrong place.
Asysin2leads Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 It depends, freedome. Most places, particularly municipal agencies, do background checks which ask you to disclose certain information about yourself, including medical and psychiatric history. While having a certain diagnosis or certain condition or taking a certain med may not positively bar your from employment, it can certainly be an obstacle. Its better to disclose it up front then let them find out, in any event.
