Can a person become a security guard have a mental health diagnosis?
Can I still qualify to be a security guard if I have a mental health diagnosis such as schizophrenia w/ bipolar, as long as I'm able to do my job?

As long as you can do your job, you should be good. *And Stay on the medication and therapy* However, some places discriminate (even though they shouldn't because of the whole Equal Opportunity Act). Just be careful where you choose to work at.

While it is illegal to not hire someone due to a medical condition. I believe most employers would find a way to eliminate you because of your medical condition without violating the law.
If I were doing the hiring I would want a note from your psychiatrist stating if he or she felt your medical condition would not be adversely affected by the stress of the job. You most certainly would not qualify for a gun carry permit which would eliminate you from any security guard position requiring you to be armed.
