Reply To: Therapy – To Tell or Not to Tell?

If someone needs help, whether medication or therapy, get it and do not worry about shidduchim. Their well-being is important. Many kids have issues that are not dealt with and they have ramifications later on in life. On that note, it should be told to the family once the shidduch is deemed “viable”. Otherwise, it is tricking the family and leading them to believe something that is not true. The prospective future family needs to go into it knowing and making a knowledgeable decision. Many stories come out where the family themselves or people they asked about the girl/boy did not tell the prospective shidduch, they got married and divorced within a few years once the information came out. The girl/boy did have medical/psych issues that were meaningful and caused marital problems. Now there are two broken families and possibly kids caught in the mess.
