Hey I was hoping that someone would be able to give me some straight forward answers.
I was deployed overseas in an imminent danger pay area when I started suffering from some pretty severe depression and anxiety. I was seeking help at the behavioral health clinic in country, but my condition kept getting worse. my doctor had diagnosed me with adjustment disorder with depression and anxiety. I started having suicidal ideation. my doctor then told me that I had exhausted all treatment options and had me medevac'd back to the states. when I got back to the states, I was assigned to the rear detachment and the commander had me take a mental evaluation where I was then re-diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depression and anxiety, but was also diagnosed with a personality disorder. I also received a profile that says " referral for possible MEB." upon getting the diagnosis, the commander started a chapter 5-17 on me. I know that I can get a MEB for chronic adjustment disorder, but that would require the symptoms to persist for over 6 months and I will be out of the army by then from the 5-17. it feels to me like the commander wants me to get kicked out before then just so that I cant get a MEB. I am so confused right now. I have already talked to patient advocacy, JAG, and IG and they just have me running in circles. can anyone make sense of my situation?
