Hello,
I was wondering whether or not someone with Moderate Depression with anxiety, plus mild bi-polar - no manic, just the mild mood cycling can still be a cop? I had a kid (H.S. student), who is interested in being a cop ask me this (I'm a school teacher), and I wasn't sure what to tell him. My gut reaction is no, but if they're properly medicated, I don't see why they couldn't function as well as a non mental illness person. However, should they come off their meds, that could be an issue.
Also, can this type of person posess a handgun?
Thanks!
