Applying for a federal law enforcement position and the medical records asks if I ever had an "emotionally stressed or mental condition, and if I had even seen a psychatrist." Over 6 years ago I did see a psychatrist (1 time) because I was feeling homesick in my first year of college. She prescribed me an anti-depressant which I took for about 5-6 months. I haven't seen a psychatrist (or any type of counselor) or been on any medication since that single time. Do you think this will still prevent me from getting the job?

Yes. Under the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 a federal aency cannot refuse to hire you based on such a condition unless the condition would render you unable to perform essential job functions.

You we're practically a kid then, If they're looking at you as just an applicant I think it would possibly be held against you. But if you've made it to the top applicants then probibly not. I wouldn't let it stop you from trying anyway.

You better not be a crappy cop and arrest people like that one stupid cops did to the fast food girl. I hate police, i hope you fail.
