If i get diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, and perscribed medication will this effect my career?

Hi,

If i were to be diagnosed to social anxiety disorder, and had medication… what jobs would it stop me getting? Do i have the choice to not have it entered onto my medical record? or are all employers able to access it? or if not what kind of organisations are allowed to see it?

thanks

No jobs would stop you they check for illegal drugs not your mental background. I have sa to and I take lexapro. If you are given adderall or a benzo like xanxa then you have to show your prescription at a drug test and you should be fine since you have a prescription, people will still hire you. I would show any sa medicine before a drug test just be on the safe side. But stronger medicines like for very severe cases of add or sa they will definatley test.
