Admitting to taking medication for treatment of a mental condition can be very bad for your career. If these questions are asked, the results should be segregated from other columns to prevent deanonymization.

Admitting to taking illegal drugs can be, too. Some forms of prejudice are even more institutionalized than others.

Idk how long of a question Scott Wants this to be. If Scott is ok with a very long list than I too would prefer that. You list looks reasonably good.

Though I would include testosterone. People take this for reasons other than muscle growth.
