Question: Can a person with bipolar disorder still get a security clearance!?
I recently got diagnosed with bipolar and I work in the aerospace/defense industry!. I must get a security clearance at the top secret level!. What is the chance of it getting rejected assuming I am honest during my interview/polygraph!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Not sure, but I do know that if you're caught lying, you'll be bounced and the repercussions might be greater!.
If there is a medical screening first, ask there!. That way you can back out before it goes further!.
My own guess is that as long as you are working with a doctor and responsibly managing the illness it won't be a problem!. You are covered by the ADA and government is not apt to defy that unless there are clear reasons to do so!. That holds for gov contractors as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
