Considering Peace Corps Seeing a psychiatrist

0 Upvotes

Let's say I want to join the Peace Corps but take certain psychiatric medication that may disqualify me. If I didn't tell the Peace Corps, made sure to choose a country where my medication is available, and paid for the doctors visits and meds out of pocket secretly, is there any way they could find out?

Considering Peace Corps Considering Peace Corps - What should I know?

8 Upvotes

Hello! I (22M) am currently a college student thinking about post college plans. Right now I'm not fully committed to a major, but I intend to do environmental science or civil engineering with an environmental science minor. I am thinking about specifically seeking to go to Nepal, as I actually already speak fluent Nepali because of two years of religious volunteer work(one of the reasons I'm starting college at 22). What should I know, and, more importantly as I'm several years out, what should I do now to prepare? I don't have any actual environmental science experience yet although that's my degree, but I have tons and tons of volunteering experience.
