This is true! My daughter had 100% enrollment in research…. She walked into a room with her pump, CGM, and the kids and parents BELIEVED what she said because she was 1 of them! Half the kids she signed up remembered her from camp, LOL (she was on staff for 7 years)

I can understand that for medical schools, it is different (although I hope that medical schools are providing resources and support to try to help prevent suicides, as well as screening out people who may struggle in medical school.) The post that I was responding to was deleted, but it was referring to an admissions officer at an undergraduate institution referring to students who disclose any physical/mental/learning disabilities as liabilities. That was the part I was questioning. I don’t think the admission process for freshmen at an undergraduate institution should discriminate against people who disclose anxiety, or ADHD, or Crohn’s, etc. if they are qualified for the institution.

Really? So if you have well-treated bipolar 1, and have not had an episode in years, are you barred from a medical license? In my mind, there is a big difference between diagnosed and treated psychiatric illness, and untreated illness or illness that unexpectedly shows up during training.
Could you clarify or provide the actual text from the licensing board? You can do it privately so as to not derail this thread.

Because your profile is hidden I can’t send you a PM.
BTW, every state and US territory has its own medical licensing board (and some stated have multiple boards–one for MDs and one for DOs) so every state’s mental health history reporting requirements are different. The requirements in some states/territories are more onerous and invasive than others.
