Hey there,
as some of you know, I've had a long-term battle with depression and am currently taking anti-depressants. Thing is, I'm thinking about maybe going to uni and the UCAS form asks for disabilities, including these sort of things. Now, if I don't declare it, would it be seen as lying if it came out? Also, if I did declare it, would I be ruining my chances? I'm wondering the same thing for job application forms etc.

It gets detached from the part of your form that gets considered so won't affect your chances in anyway, but the tag gets flagged to the disability department at the university so you can get any support you need.
Win all round.
that's what i meant with the whole higher education thing.. i know because i went through this. i wasn't really clear about it before. but yeah, should be ok. :thumb:
