Is going to a Therapist confidential? ?!


Question: Is going to a Therapist confidential!? !?
and could a job possibly find out about me seeing a Therapist!?
could it effect my chances of getting a job!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No, a job couldn't find out!. Seeing a therapist is the same as seeing any other doctor- completely confidential!. It's also illegal to be asked about your mental health, or any other medical history for that matter, so you are under no obligation to answer any questions like that should they come up!. If you feel pressured to answer questions of that nature, or are threatened that you won't get the job unless you answer, you have a nice law suit on your hands!Www@Answer-Health@Com

By law any contact between you and any health professional is private and confidential!. Even within the hospital , only a select few have the right and authority to see your records!. Violators face fines, jail, or both!. Hence all of your visits with a therapist fall in this realm!. Unless you tell somebody(employers are not permitted to ask about your medical history) or the person who wishes to see your record gets a court order, your visits are secure!.So rest easy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it is extremely confidential!.
And no, a job could not find out unless you or someone you know who knows, tells them!.
A therapist cannot say anything, and the job cannot ask!. And if the job does asks, you are entitled to lying and saying no!.
It would not effect your chances of getting a job at all!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It won't effect your chances of getting a job at all!. Going to a therapist is 100% confidential unless you are hurting your self physically or someone is abusing you, and even then, they only tell the police!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is confidential and binding legally!. the only way someone would know is if you tell or if they see you there, and you can have many reasons to be there, like going to talk about your mother and stuff like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes it is completly confidential!.
the only way the therapist will tell anyone is if you or anyone else is in danger!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i believe there is a federal law prohibiting release of any medical documents without your consent!.

The only way these records could be released is if you were putting yourself or others in danger!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no just dont let them know your going or have gone!. people will judge you for this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
