So I've been shortlisted for a job, and I've been sent a Health Declaration to fill in and return before the interview. Filling in the form truthfully would mean disclosing my history of clinical depression and my current medication. I'm afraid that, if I disclose this information, it may damage my chances of being offered the job. So what should I do? Answer truthfully, and hope for the best? Or say nothing, and risk the consequences? What's the worst that could happen to me if I withhold this information?
