It prevents you from jobs like airline pilots, the rationale being that placing someone potentially suicidal in control of a plane full of people isn't a good idea. The rationale doesn't really make total sense but you can see why they'd think that way.

    except that airline pilots end up depressed and untreated instead of just not depressed.
