Can I be hired for a federal law enforcement position despite a previous instance of depression?


I'm applying for a federal law enforcement position and have already been given a formal offer of employment. However the offer of employment is contingent on me passing the medical records check (physical) and FBI background check. The medical records check asks if I ever had an "emotionally stressed or mental condition, and if I had even seen a psychatrist." Over 6 years ago I did see a psychatrist (1 time) because I was feeling homesick in my first year of college. She prescribed me an anti-depressant which I took for about 5-6 months. I haven't seen a psychatrist (or any type of counselor) or been on any medication since that single time. Do you think this will still prevent me from getting the job? Has anyone been in this situation before?

Unless this was something very serious I would keep it to myself. although my brother was in the same position and, was checked over by the FBI and, was held back in the Army on a very important job due to something about the same as yours.
It's a win, no win, situation. Good luck

no
