In reply to What can't you do if you have mental illness???, posted by leo33 on December 10, 2006, at 20:04:41
> I have a question for anyone that knows. What are you not allowed to do if you have been diagnosed with a mental illness? For example, you can't become a law officer or join the military or buy a gun, etc... So does anyone know what discrimatory practices or list of things you can't do with a Brain illness (I prefer that)?

Probably not be able to get a license to drive a commercial truck.As for guns, if you haven't been involuntarily sent for treatment in a MHF, you can still buy a gun in most states.
