hi all,
i have a quick question. i am hoping to get into LE someday, but am unfamiliar with exactly whats on the pysch evaluation that many departments require. my question is, what if you were treated for depression in the past? Would this be something that could disqualify you? About three years ago I went into counseling for depression, and was put on zoloft. The treatment was only a few months, and made me feel a whole lot better. I didnt like the side effects from the zoloft so i stopped taking it, after just a few months. I havent had to go back into counseling since then, as I had learned techniques in counseling to keep myself from slipping that low again. But Im assuming this would be something I would have to disclose to a police department and I wonder if it would ruin my chances. I'm not in any hiring processes currently, and I realize I have plenty of time to worry about things like this, but I was just curious. Thanks for your help.
