mental disorder? advice

[mm]

Hi everyone, i just need a quick advice concerning the last question in 9, from Schedule 1 Background/Declaration. should I mention that for a year in my life I have been taking medication for treating mild depression? I have told the doctor at the medical exam about this, so they will probably know, but if I check YES when they are asking me about a SERIOUS MENTAL DISORDER, it might look scary...

what do you think?
any experience with how the IOs look at these things?

Depression is not the type of mental disorder they're talking about. They're wanting to be sure an applicant does not have a mental disorder that would make them a danger to Canadian health or public safety. You've told the DMP - that's all you're obligated to do.
