Thanks Splitimage for your reply. I live in Canada too and I am very grateful the question is not allowed to be asked. It does sound like it is okay in Britain and Australia though.

I think you said it well lonegael... so long as the disorder is being managed then it doesn't seem accurate to consider oneself disabled. Fortunately if it does become an issue and prevent us from working for a period of time, at least in Canada the health insurance will treat it as a disability. I guess that gives us the best of both worlds.
