Hello,
My husband has been approached about a role in Auckland and we're pretty excited about it...but he has bipolar 1 disorder. He was diagnosed in 2005 following a manic episode but has had no further manic episodes. He's on medication (lithium and quetiapine) & he needs to see a psychiatrist from time to time to adjust his medication if he's becoming unwell (most recently his medication was adjusted last month). He's never been hospitalised and has been employed throughout this time... so my question is, how likely is it that he will pass the medical requirements? And is it likely that his future employer would find out about his condition through this process?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
