*MOE = Ministry of Education

I suffer from OCD and Bipolar II but have not been on meds for either. I am high-functioning and my MI will not affect my performance, so do I need to declare them and is there any way for the Ministry to check? I am afraid this will eliminate me from the competition.
Since you are high functioning, not on meds, and they did not directly ask, I would say Don't Disclose it. I do counter work at a package delivery company. I have schizophrenia and like you, am high functioning and not on meds. If found out, they could claim some liability bs to get rid of me. The funny thing is, I am one of the best clerks they have. What a laugh.
