SarahFitz Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi, I recently requested Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for my anxiety (I think it was work related). The doctor also offered me antidepressants which I have been taking. I am concerned this will now affect my application and can’t seem to find anything online about it. I’ve not taken time of work and I am on a mild antidepressant. Has anyone else been through this and has their visa approved or know of anyone? I assume I have to declare this when I go through my medical Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If it's for a working holiday visa (WHV) you don't have a medical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I don’t think it’s as in-depth as applying for other visa types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking of the 12 month visa normally used for back packing or another type of visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had many friends and relatives in their 20s over on WHVs and none of them have been asked for a medical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahFitz Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 I think I’ve actually completely misread something and you’re right, I don’t think I need a medical exam haha! Phew. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
