A member asked:

If i get diagnosed with a mental disorder, will that go on my permanent health record?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Any illness, physical or mental will be in the record. However, many people have had such diagnoses. If you have a mental health issue the most important thing is to get treatment.
