Disclosure About Antidepressants
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I’ve been taking antidepressant medication for a year already. I’m Religious Zionist, and I’m now going out on dates. How do you gauge the right time to tell the woman? Too early is off-putting. Too late is deceptive.
Answer
I don’t have an answer. As you said, neither too early nor too late. When she already knows you well enough that it won’t be too dramatic, and early enough that if she still wants to, she can break it off.
