Social attitudes to depression[]

Employment[]

High-stress employers are sometimes reluctant to consider hiring people with a history of depression, but not doing so could be seen as a form of illegal discrimination. For instance, the US military standards do not allow more than six months of treatment for depression before someone becomes ineligible. However, a waiver is possible in some circumstances.
