Will being treated at a mental hospital affect future job opportunities?
Not necessarily. It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against someone based on their mental health history. However, some industries, such as law enforcement or government positions, may require a thorough background check that could reveal past hospitalizations. It's important to disclose any necessary information during the hiring process to avoid any surprises later on. Employers are more likely to be understanding if you are upfront and honest about your mental health history.
