I’m just curious.
I’ve heard the government can refuse to hire people if they’ve been hospitalized for it. There are jobs I’d love to go for, but I’m worried they’d do a background check, find out about how I was hospitalized for it, and refuse to hire me. And I’m thinking it would be legal for them to. Is it?
I am considering going into social work to help people who also suffer from depression. Will this get in the way of that?
