Re: TIL you can't do certain jobs if you were ever treated for a mental illness.

[(Anonymous)]

My opinion on this sort of depends on one question: are people with mental illnesses ever actually "cured?" Not happening again, no longer a problem, in remission? I'm pretty sure most people would say no, that it's about managing it and working medication or therapy or something to get by. If that's the case, I can understand the rational of not wanting people who may not be mentally stable near your kids. Of course, I think this also depends on the mental illness, and passing a blanket law to cover every mental illness is overkill.

There's a difference between having a history of instability and a history of controlled mental illness. If somebody has displayed decades of responsibility about their illness, with no violence or unreliability, why should it matter if they're ever cured? That kind of thinking requires judging a person for what they are, rather than anything they've actually done, with no chance for them to ever get out from under that judgment, which doesn't sound particularly rational to me.

Well, anyone can relapse. But the thing is, a perfectly healthy person can get a mental illness out of the blue, too. If relapse isn't more likely than a healthy person being compromised, then it's sort of bullshit.

Also it sort of assumes that you'd be a risk to those kids - while obviously a) not all mental diseases make you a risk to others and b) just because you have a problem doesn't mean you can't recognize there is or seek help even if it does pop up.
