I thought I would post here rather than in the Workplace/Employment forum as my question relates to people that may have or know of anyone else that have Mental Health problems and yet are still able to have Full/Part time employment or attend Collage/University.
If anyone that may have any personal struggles with the mind which is indeed a full time occupation as with regard living with the condition and the daily trials and problems that come from any affliction of the mind and still manages to balance a job is a great inspiration and one that should be shared for the benefit and hope it could give to others.
I am one for believing that if you are qualified and skilled for the job then you should get it even if you do disclose any mental health problems you have. I am sure this could also work against you as most employers are not as open minded to employ someone with any history of mental ill health which is wrong and is no different from discriminating against someone because of race, religon, sexuality which there is laws against this.
I think in modern day society there is a lot of discrimination to those that have mental health problems some of the views that people have dates back to the dark ages.
If you have any success stories then please do share them.
