So among the mountain of paperwork I have to fill out for residency is this:
"Have you ever been affected by or sought counseling or treatment for drug use, chemical or alcohol dependency, or behavior problems?"
Then you're supposed to provide details if yes.
I took zoloft for depression for about 8 months in 2001 or 2002. I don't even remember the exact dates, it was so long ago. I didn't see a psychiatrist. I self-diagnosed myself and got them from university health and after a while I felt better and stopped taking them and I've felt fine ever since.
So how much detail do they want? Do I have to go back to university health and dig up the exact dates and stuff? What a pain.
I personally don't think it's any of their business if I took an SSRI five years ago, but if I lie and answer no, I'm sure it will come back to bite me in the ass later...
