Hello, I am from the USA and considering coming to Bahrain to work in an office job. I noticed on the LMRA website that "Psychiatric diseases" are one of the reasons for being rejected as unfit for work.
My situation is that several years ago I went into treatment for alcohol abuse. While there I was diagnosed with "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder." I think it was probably a bogus diagnosis but that is besides the point, since it is now in my medical records somewhere.
My question is whether this will be an issue or something that will be uncovered during the medical examination process. I am physically very healthy and there is no chance that any doctor would be able to "observe" any mental problems. My worry is that if they pull my detailed medical records, my past could be in the file somewhere (with an insurance company, etc.,). I am aslo prescribed Zoloft, which I am worried might flag their attention.
Should I be worried, or is it really in practice just a "surface" examination for infectious disease and other physical impairments.
Thanks!
