[quote=Anonymous]It can be. Society is very judgmental and uneducated so one must tread lightly. For example, I work as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family. I take medication for depression, OCD, bipolor and anxiety..The whole sha-bang. If my family knew this, they probably would never have hired me. Or they would fire me. But you know what? Being on my meds has stabilized me so much that I can sleep better at night and function like a normal person during the day. My moods are stable now and I can control any anger issues that I couldn't before. It would be quite scary if I were non-medicated to leave their child w/me because I would be a mental basket case. I take my medications regularly and never miss a dose. Yet, I cannot tell my employers because like I stated before, people still attach stigmas to mental illness.[/quote]
