QUESTION 13 OF 30

Are you currently taking any mood altering drugs?

While all people have an expectation of privacy regarding any medical condition, healthcare providers are expected to disclose any medical condition they have or medications they are taking with their employer. This is not meant to compromise confidentiality, but may be necessary in the event of an emergency. If you are taking medications, be sure that you can present a current prescription if asked. Remember, to be honest.

"I don't take any medications at this time. A few years ago I went through a divorce and I took an anti-depressant. I have not taken any medications for over a year now."

"I have taken Prozac for the last two years. I experienced mild depression after the death of my sister and my primary doctor prescribed this. Other than this medication, I only use over the counter pain relievers and herbal supplements."
