mainly because the regulation is not: you are dangerous because once in a month you become a freaking danger to anyone nearby so you are mandated to take your pills and go into seclusion for the duration of your spell or else...
but: you are frealing dangerous dark shit, so there are no jobs for you, you third class creature how dare you to be alive.
it's no wonder why most of them are psychos.
or at least that is what fanon makes them be
Yeah pretty much. They have no other real alteration other than one day a month they have to be locked in a room to prevent them from hurting others, hell the potions only there to be a back up and to make it a bit less unpleasent. It's really all the security and compromise needed to help werewolves. They aren't any more dangerous than a normal wizard outside of that time.
Still pointless risk to take in hospitals and school conditions which is also assuming that werewolves in question would be nice guys like Remus instead of being closer to Fenrir like most were in the books. High-stress job like hospital work etc.? One missed potion would be disaster. Same thing would be true in school setting and number of positions. You don't even need actual malice when plain incompetence people love to accuse wizards of would be more than enough to guarantee catastrophes. Would any sensible organization employ virus-carrying psychopaths as long as they remember to take their meds?
There probably are numerous jobs that could be done by decent werewolf without that high consequences of failure, but again it's not likely to be worth the risks for any sensible government or organization. Werewolves are carriers off highly dangerous pathogen and according to books most seem to enjoy infecting innocents, so the fact that wizarding governments won't actively exterminate them on sight is already pretty damn humane.
The only positive werewolf we have in canon is Lupin, true, but the only negatives I remember are Fenrir and his band, and that is judging the whole kind for a few bad apples. There is nothing in the books that claim that werewolves turn into bad people if treated right but for one psychopath and his followers.
Why would high-stress jobs be any worse for a werewolf outside the full moon than it would be for anyone else?
It is not a "virus-carrying sociopath", it is someone that turns into a wolf at a specific, documented and of common knowledge time of the month. He doesn't even
need to take meds, although they help, just be kept somewhere safe during that specific time.
I see no risks that would make it not worth. The only person that enjoys infecting people in the books is Fenrir Greyback, and he is already an acknowledged criminal. The way you say it is like the belief that people should kill muslins because of the few of them that are terrorists.
