[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the replies. DS does not want to do military or pilot. We are thinking about professional jobs such as physicians, lawyers, government professional jobs. Those jobs do not require you disclose mental health history?[/quote] Maybe it was a typo but the "WE are thinking about..." sentence caught my eye. I get anxious just imagining you hovering over your (adult) college aged son and trying to make life decisions for him. College is a time to cut those strings and let him figure out on his own what career he wants. It might not look like a dr or lawyer, but it is his choice. And young adulthood is also a time for him to learn how to care for himself, and that includes his mental health, without you hovering and planting anxious what ifs about future issues. His generation is radically more open and accepting of mental health issues than the world was during my 20s. I hope they keep being that way as they enter the workplace because it will benefit us all. And if im projecting and just imagining your helicoptering, my apologies. Meds can be life changers and if his doctors recommend it, he should try them.[/quote]
