Depression , panel physicians & ITA

[vnt]

Hi guys

I got my ita a couple of months ago
I now have less than 30 days to accept it

I recently had my medical through a panel physician

I mentioned to him about the fact that i take antidepressants

Now I'm wary that it might cause issues as that might cause a rejection from them


Can anyone tell me what's the best way going forward

did you mention it to panel physician
and did you select "Yes" to the question "Have you ever suffered from any mental illness? " before submitting the application form

My brother (14yrs old) have a major depression & taking anitidepressant pills. He's under my parents application as a dependant. (parents & grandparents sponsorship 2018) He's not suicidal nor hurt other people.He got bullied at school & hes still seeing a pschycologist once a month. Im worried sick that it might affect his medical test & might reject their applications.

Is he attending school and able to participate in normal everyday activities? If so, I wouldn't worry. He would have to have to have been hospitalized and not functioning in daily life for it really to become a potential issue.

It is very important that he keep up his schooling for various reasons. He could change schools or do virtual learning. Mental healthcare is not very good in Canada so you should anticipate needing to pay out of pocket for psychologists (not covered by most provincial healthcare).

Nothing you can do but wait. I don't think you will receive a procedural fairness letter but I am not the panel physician.

To anyone wondering about ssri medication or anti depressants, DO NOT WORRY. declare it to the doctor taking the medical and they will ask you to get a psychiatrist letter. It is not a big deal at all. It is just them doing their job.
