Depression and job interviews?!

Depression and job interviews?

I suffer from depression and take Citalopram 20mg per day.
I also go to counselling on Wednesdays, my appointment being at 4pm (I have to leave the office at 3.15 to get there).
I dont like my current job, so Im thinking of leaving.
I work as a legal secretary if that matters. At the interview when they ask me if I have any medical problems what do I say? If I say oh I need 2 hours off a week then I know I wont get the job, but if I dont say anything then I may not be allowed the time off.

Also my current work makes me take my appointment times as sick leave, therefore I am getting a bad sick leave record. I take 2 1/2 hours sick per week. Can they do this?

Thanks

I cant change my appointment times cos I get my treatment on the NHS so that is the latest time they can offer. I cant afford to pay privately.

To be honest - i wouldn't be honest. Plenty of us suffer depression and none of us tell people. I would keep that to yourself.

As for your regular appointments - i would say it was something else. Only because, no matter what people say, there is a stigma attached to these sorts of things (even though they are so common), and i think it probably would affect your chances of getting the job. I don't know what you would say it was, but i wouldn't say it either until they offer you the job.

Good luck (from someone who suffers with the same thing as you)xx
