Myth: Seeking, reporting, or receiving mental health treatment will negatively impact my ability to receive a security clearance.
DYK 24% of service members who reported mental health symptoms did not go for mental health treatment because they thought it would affect their security clearance?
Fact: It is extremely rare to have a security clearance denied or revoked solely on the basis of reporting mental health conditions or treatment.
Evidence: An analysis of security clearance adjudications over a six-year period found that 85,000 people had their security clearances revoked or denied, and of those only 145 (0.002%) were denied due to mental health reasons alone.
