Mental Health Police Recreuit
Currently looking in to applying to become a LEO, just curious how much mental health issues effect your application. I’m currently 34 a little over 3 years ago I voluntarily admitted myself to a hospital just to get me some help, was going through a real bad relationship (cheated on and manipulated) and needed some help and guidance . What was supposed to be a week stay ended up with me being discharged after being there for only 2 days (Dr that treated me felt I really didn’t belong in there at all). Haven’t had any issues since, i do speak with a therapist when in need which is rare(it’ll be almost 2 years since I last spoke with a therapist).
Right now I’m probably in the best shape of my adult life mental and emotionally and physically.
I’ve seen mixed reviews when it comes to the mental health situation. When applying I plan on being 100% upfront when the questions do arise. I’m not on any medication and haven’t been. Is it worth trying and just seeing how things go or should I let more time pass before applying?
