Hey. I can think of one guy I know--a father of an old friend of mine. Really good psychiatrist psychoanalyst (yes, they still make those)...he's been treated both inside mental health centers and as an outpatient for "issues." Its apparently not a big deal.
I don't know if you'd want to be seeking treatment in your area, though; it might be better to get your meds straight and then go into training. You might also want to get your psych meds from an online pharmacy, not a local one (like drugstore.com--they take insurance and can do most drugs except for Schedule II meds), so that way there's *NO* way you have to worry about anybody knowing what's up.
Good luck.
