About two years ago, i went to my doc and was diagnosed with Major Depression, (Due to Failing Grades etc). Anyway i over came that without ever visiting a psychiatrist, or every taking any medicine. Followed up with my normal follow up with doctor (regular Doc) and told him that i am very well now, dont have any depression and quite happy now, and have no worries. Can the Psych DQ me for having depression?
I took/sometimes still take this pill called propanolol prescribed to me by my doctor because I asked for it.
Basically what it does is calm your nerves and makes all nervous feelings go away. I use this in job interviews and public speaking and always nail them.
Do they look at records like that? and would that be a problem?
Thanks.NYPD Exam 4324

It's a non-selective beta blocker. It's not good in a brawl because in such a situation you're likely to need your adrenergic receptors fully active but it's good for calming down afterwards. If you asked for it you presumably know that actors take it to reduce stage fright, surgeons take it to reduce hand tremor, and various persons for various other reasons including PTSD. It's contraindicated for persons with airway disorders. Different people respond to it rather differently because of its complex hepatic lipometabolism.
If a Police Officer is known to be taking beta blockers a lawyer is apt to present an expert to attest to its negative impact on memory formation after you attest to something on recollection.
If you've taken them of your own accord for the reasons you've specified, you should stop doing that before any Police interview, and you should disclose the entire matter without flippancy.
Good luck Sir.Last edited by Monty Ealerman; 06-14-2014, 12:00 AM.

Thanks again, appreciate it.
@BNWS, As stated before im legally prescribed it and I am not dependant on it, its just something I take whenever I feel like I need an extra push and it only stays in your system for a few hours.Last edited by New-York-Cityian; 06-14-2014, 12:00 AM.NYPD Exam 4324

Not judging you just trying to give you some insight to how stressful the job can be. You used job interviews to describe a stressfull situation. I'm just letting you know that something like cross examination is far more adversarial than a job interview. Its not stress once in a while its stress everyday at a level the average citizen doesn't comprehend. Anyway I wish you the best of luck.

If you're on track toward an advanced degree please be assured that having it won't hurt your NYPD aspirations.
I suggest you not worry too much about having lawfully taken prescription medications for smart-alec self-advantageous reasons. Just grow up and become exemplary if you want to be the Police. I'm marginal in that category -- I'm too self-indulgent -- although I'm OK with being entrusted I don't much like the associated accountability.Last edited by Monty Ealerman; 06-14-2014, 03:00 PM.

@DigitalFrenchie Many starting base pay Ph.D's pay higher than a PO's top pay according to the BLS. Engineering, occupational therapy, finance, public health, business, etc etc the list goes on, But this is going way off topic so let us not go there.NYPD Exam 4324

First, you tell us your doctor diagnosed "major depression" but apparently didn't refer you to a specialist or prescribe any medication. Now you tell us the doctor prescribed Propranolol because you "asked for it."
Physicians like that are known as "Doctor Feegood" until they are known as "defendant" and then "inmate."
