When I came to a new state to get a new driver's license they asked if I had ever been treated for a mental illness!! I had never been asked that question. I was so shocked & lied, of course. There is no way I'm going to give out that kind of personal medical info. that they don't need to know, but it does worry me if they ever find out that I lied--I don't know--like if I get into a wreck & go to the hospital & they check my blood (& even though it isn't my fault) they find the meds in my blood (bipolar 1).

I've asked other people here & they said they weren't asked that question (that they can remember)!! Maybe it just didn't make an impact if they didn't have that as an issue. But my husband doesn't remember being asked that. Could they see something in my eyes?? Did I act or look weird? It scared me. Was I giving off "mentally ill" vibes? I think I can "pass" in public most of the time.

I WOULD NEVER DISCLOSE my mental illness unnecessarily in this way. Too dangerous.--Suzy
