If I start taking these as prescribed by a dr, can I be denied a license when its time to graduate?

Im sorry this might be a silly question, but I dont want anything derailing me here.
 
i dont see any problem with licensure. disability insurance may be an issue; but if you need them, you need them
 
My understanding is a license cannot be denied because of a medical condition, including psychiatric. Unrelated but interesting is the fact that a history of substance abuse is considered a medical condition.
 
no, they cannot deny you a license because you are on antidepressants.
