- distant_hat 8y agoYou can't but I did a PhD (Physics) and pretty much every PhD researcher with me was on antidepressants for some time. It was so common that nobody bothered to hide and people would trade information on which antidepressants would work best while keeping their work life unaffected. In other shit, almost every married candidate I knew went through a divorce (except for a Mormon guy).
