medical exam and mental illness ?

[Mela17 36]

OP, you are seriously over thinking this. IF you do NOT have an official diagnosis; DO NOT say anything. Unfortunately, people still judge people with any mental illness. You do not want to subject yourself to needless questioning.

Let's put it this way: You don't know you have an eating disorder. You think you might possibly have one, but unless someone with the proper medical license and medical expertise says you do, then from a legal standpoint you really have no way of knowing that you do.

If some doctor asks you specific questions about ED conduct, I would not lie to him since catching you on a lie can be big trouble, but if you are just asked the larger question of whether you have any such disorders, you can safely say no. Until a doctor says you do, as far as you know you really don't.

Le's put it another way: Suppose I have chronic headaches, a symptom of high blood pressure. But no doctor or nurse ever checked my blood pressure. I therefore do not know that I have high blood pressure and can safely say no.

You self diagnosed and never saw a dr for it, why mention it? What would you tell a doctor now? "I believe I an ED but I am better now, can you write a letter saying I am ok".. If you self diagnosed, self treated and are good now, I would keep,that to myself IMO.

thanx im thinking about not saying to, but cbp knows or does that matter? but as u said it self diagnosed
