mental health

Hello all, any advice or comments on my situation would be very helpful. to start off, I have an appointment tomorrow with my LCSW who is going to be submitting my MEB package. As to this part, I’m wondering what happens from there? Is there anything I need to do? Where does this go? My referee...

Just as the title reads... With being in the LDES situation for way to long, I am getting a bit concerned. After 10 years of service, that has been wonderful up until the last few years, I lost the ability to control my mental health symptoms. So after trying to fight the symptoms and the Navy...

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I was told at one point during my MEB that I need to be careful with federal employment if I am medically retired from the military. I was going through a lot at the time and didn't...

So this post is probably going to be unorganized. I’ve been on here for a few months reading a lot, and finally decided to reach out for some input on my situation. Any help at all would be appreciated! I have only been in the Navy for 2 years now, and honestly have had a great intro into the...

Hello everyone, I have reached out to this forum in hopes of finding answers to my current situation. I have self-referred myself to mental health or MHOOD clinic out here in San Diego. If the option is a LIMDU I might take it. I am worried though that this might result in myself being ADSEP'd...

As the title states, I am getting so discouraged and losing my mind and need an outlet. Chose LDES to be with my wife, and two daughters sooner, and job opportunities that await. PEBLO is always giving me the run around I feel... by giving me random numbers every time I talk with him, and having...

Hello, I’m curious about something that’s been rattling in the back of my mind for a while now. If I prove through the BCNR that the adjustment disorder I was diagnosed with in the Navy was wrong, along with getting an RE4 code for it. Can I sue or hold the doctor who did it responsible?

Good morning everyone, I was recently found fit for PTSD but it is basically a 50% rating alone based on the VA C&P Exam. I have two other conditions that rendered me unfit (left ankle and left leg). I expect those two ratings combined to be 20% or less. If I were to be found unfit for the PTSD...

Hello all, I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia and entered the ides/med board system. I had an appointment with an ides doctor to review my physical claims and noticed on his screen as he scrolled that I had behavioral health conditions listed that were not part of my referred condition...

Greetings all, I’m being recommended for a 2nd Limdu for MDD. I’ve been on a list of medications, have not missed an appointment and do everything as required. My psychiatrist changed my diagnosis to adjustment disorder a couple months ago and it seems my therapist and psychiatrist are in...

What can I do if something in my MH records isn't correct? My MH provider said I had suicide ideation as a kid and took OTC meds to try to kill myself... What do I do and how do I go about it?

I conducted a C&P appointment for my anxiety claim last Friday. I was seen a few years back for stress about four times. My doctor diagnosed me with anxiety disorder. I was prescribed Xanax, but I did not like it. He then prescribed Zoloft. I didn't like that either. In total, I believe I was on...

Hello all, I have been seeing VA mental health providers for nearly 6mo, it has been about a year since the TBI I suffered. I was notified that I must go to a mental health evaluation on base (must be DoD) before a NARSUM can be written and before anyone can determine if I will go through a...

Hello all, I have been seeing a mental health provider for a few months now about my anxiety and claustrophobia in tight places and this seems to be going nowhere. I often times skip out on commanders calls, awards ceremonies etc. because I cant handle being in a place with no windows or tight...

Hello All, I've been on this website everyday for about 6 months. I've studied almost every thread imaginable so I haven't been caught off guard by any steps in my MEB, you guys have kept me informed. So here's my background: After 9yrs of being seen by MH I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1...

Referral: 01/04/2018 VA Claims: 01/10/2018 Medical Exam: 01/23/2018 Medical Evaluation Board:_____ I signed and had my packet sent to San Antonio on 13 Feb 2018. I spoke to my PEBLO on 20 Feb 2018 on the status of my packet because all of a sudden my IDES Dashboard now doesn't show my timeline...

Good Evening! I'm new to this group although I did follow the forum for a few weeks prior to actually making an account. My story is slightly unique and also on top of it, I'm not even sure what is happening. To give a relatively brief explanation of everything - I'm AD USAF, been in 9 years...

Has anyone went through more than one MEB for separate mental health conditions at the same time? Curious of the process/results/ratings?

In March 2017 I was identified, after voluntarily seeking treatment, as bipolar. It is now May 2017 and I've been informed the DAWG has recommended my case for IRILO MEB. Not sure how long it takes from here for having a unwaiverable mental illness, has anyone else gone through this specific...

I'm AD AF with about 6 years TIS. I was anticipating a med board and the process has just started. I got a call from my PEBLO Apr 3 that basically said the process was starting and I'd have to notify her of any leave and couldn't go TDY. Apr 6 My profile was changed from temporary to a code 37...
