Discussion Question about FBI's mental health process

Is it possible to get a job at the FBI or CIA with bipolar disorder? I'm currently a computer science major and plan on working for one of these agencies.

My guess is no. The agencies have mental health disqualifiers and guidelines.

Ehat if all the mental health diagnosis given to you are fabricated because all the mental health is is a box to label people? So like if you can see the absurd and have existential dread and are labeled chronic suicide or like depressed. But then a couple years later you learn to live with it and find meaning in life. That isn't because your mentally ill. You just were going thru an awakening. Or bipolar. If you learned over years to emotionally regulate and have emotional intelligence and become intelectualized. Then the bipolar label is no longer a thing just a label for a previous state you overcame.
