[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]bump for a friend in a similar situation.  does anyone know if taking an anti-depressant is likely to inhibit getting a clearance, assuming the person is honest and forthright about everything asked in the form and polygraph?   TIA![/quote]

Shouldn't be a problem. The security clearance process is long and tedious, but pretty straightforward. The investigator will send a form to the medical provider / therapist that basically asks 'given what you know, is there any reason to be concerned.' It's written in much more bureaucratic language but in most situations, the answer will be 'No -- no concerns'. That exchange (and associated signed forms) becomes part of the package that ultimately gets adjudicated.

It's just a long, tedious, and mostly boring process. The worst part is that you get absolutely no information and that drags out over a long period of time, giving one a lot of time to dream up scenarios and convince themselves that X (mental health disclosure, less than perfect finances, etc) caused Y (delay, request for more information, re-adjudication, denial of clearance <rare>). Bureaucratic glitch is BY FAR more likely than any of those specifics, but it's hard to believe that when you're going through it.[/quote]
