Anxiety & Depression - Job Discrimination

Can you be discriminated against for
an anxiety and depression disorder?

Anxiety Question:

Can you be discriminated against for an anxiety and depression disorder that has been treated with medicines?

I applied for a position working for the government. I passed the drug and physical exam except for the medicines that I am taking.

I received a phone call from the company because they want more information about the medicines that I take for anxiety (for panic attacks which then resulted in depression).

I passed the physical exam but the doctor won't sign the paper until I talk to a counselor.

If I was diagnosed two years ago, can they rescind the job offer?
I have been stabilized on medication so I do not know why it is an issue.

Anxiety Answer:

I sincerely don't think they can rescind the job offer based on anxiety and depression that you are being treated for. If this were the case, most of the population would be unemployed!

Your personal medical files are private, because of the HIPA laws.

You actually don't have to give them any information on your anxiety and depression.

Dealing with Anxiety Advice

I can leave the house without a panic attack now!

My name is Heather and I just started listening to your program about a month ago. I felt your program was my last hope, because my panic attacks which started two years before were happening anywhere and everywhere I went! Even at home!

Seriously, I had given up hope of ever being helped, but one month after listening daily to your CD's, "Dissolving Panic and Anxiety", I feel better. I do leave the house now without having a panic attack every minute. I have not taken the antidepressants and I have a feeling that I will not need to. My outlook on life is changing for the better!

Thanks for being there and actually helping people!
Your friend,
Heather
