Is declaring a mental health condition a possible cause for visa refusal?

Does anyone have experience or knowledge on how immigration decides if you have a mental health condition like anxiety, ADHD, etc.? Are these possible grounds for refusal if you are applying for a skilled visa?

    Hi ma'am,

    I have the same question. I'm diagnosed with bipolar condition and I'm now about to submit the medical. I want to know if I now have zero chance of getting my visa approved because of it. Now ko lang nakita na may question about mental health e.

    Wondering if you have submitted yours and had a positive outcome?

    Thanks

    Don't be afraid na magdeclare kasi sigurado mahahalungkat yan ng Department of Home Affairs.

    Pagnagapply kayo ng private health insurance, hahalungkatin nila yan sa mga hospital mo kung nadiagnose ka ng ganito.

    Sa Emedical Meron ganito

    Prolonged medical treatment and/or repeated hospital admissions for any reason, including a
    major operation or psychiatric illness

    Psychological/Psychiatric Disorder (including major depression, bipolar disorder or
    schizophrenia)

    Client declaration
    The client has provided true and correct medical history information.

    Para may idea
    Ito yung sample
