Your friend was deneid Peace Corps outright because of antidepressants, and nothing else? I know PCVs who have served while taking antidepressants. For studying abroad, it'll depend on your school and the schools you could attend. There's not likely one global answer and it will take some research on your part. DO NOT keep it a secret. That's just stupid. For Peace Corps, the government pays your prescription, so they'd have to know, but it's just insane NOT to disclose any medication you're taking. Holy God, what if some medical emergency happened and you were given something that reacted badly with your medication. Scary.Remember, when people ask: the purpose of medical disclosure is TO KEEP YOU SAFE. It's not to prevent you from doing something. It's to prevent you from suffering some potentially horrible reaction and to keep you healthy during the time you are away from the United States.
