hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first topic

I have spent 3 years on incapacity benefits through being able to work because of my depression, and about 6 months ago now I felt I would like to return to work and that being able to provide for myself and earn my own money would help me feel better about myself. But, I find that having had help has caused me problems when it comes to applying for work, many jobs I have applied for specifically ask about nervous or mental conditions and weither I have had been to see a doctor and what about.

whenever I have been asked this specifically and told the truth I have never recieved an invitation to an interview or even a letter to say that I was unsuccessful . If I'm to be totally honest it has really hit my sense of self worth, but it has left me more angry that I feel I am being discriminated against, so much so to the point I have considered lying on job applications and trying to hide my past in that respect, I was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions?

thank you
