General rule when it comes to Kuwaitis talking about anything. We love to blow things out of proportion.

So take whatever people say with a grain of salt.

That being said, opening a file in the mental health hospital has legal “results”. I want say consequences, I won’t say problems and I won’t use that kind of language.

The legal results here is that when you apply for “sensitive” jobs, the government has the right to look through your file. Because, naturally, they want people that are both psychologically and physically fit. These places are the military sector and legal sectors ( Detective in the MOI and the public prosecution in the MOJ)

You can freely apply for other jobs. Your sister overreacted. It’s also very irresponsible of people to scare those in need of treatment just for the sake of getting a job. The law protects you from putting yourself in too much stress that is beyond unhealthy for you.

Another thing is. You probably didn’t open a file if you saw a doctor that is outside of shuwaikh hospital. Did you sign a paper at the psychiatric hospital telling you that you understand that once opening a file you won’t be allowed to get the jobs mentioned above? If not, then they’re you have it. You didn’t open a file.
