This is very sad. I am going for a job interview on Monday and have been worrying what I might say if they ask me any questions about my health record. I left my last job in 2003 because I was experiencing a total breakdown. I opted to quit rather than apply for a medical leave because in the back of my mind I didn't trust that it wouldn't come back to haunt be some day. At least now there is no record. I have been self employed since 2003 but I have been to doctors and therapists so I just hope none of those records need to come forward.
This kind of discrimination is what prevents a lot of people from getting help and accessing benefits they are entitled to get.
